If you happen to live in New York City, and you love French crime movies -- and Jean Gabin movies -- then the place for you to be this summer is Film Forum, @ 209 W. Houston St., NYC.
Between August and September, Film Forum is presenting thirty-eight French crime movies, three of which star Jean Gabin!
The Jean Gabin titles which Film Forum will be screening are TOUCHEZ PAS AU GRISBI (August 17 and 18), THE SICILIAN CLAN (August 28), and the enduring classic PEPE LE MOKO (September 3 and 4). SICILIAN CLAN, in particular, is being presented in a brand new, color/Cinemascope 35mm print!
As part of the same series, Film Forum will also be screening some great "non-Gabin" crime films, such as "Le Doulos," "Coup de torchon," "Bob le flambeur," "Police Python .357," "Les Tontons flingueurs," "Classe tous risques," "La Piscine," "Plein Soleil," and the list goes on an on! Some of the great stars who appear in the films are: Yves Montand, Alain Delon, Philippe Noiret, Jean-Paul Belmondo, Isabelle Huppert, Jean Servais, and Jean Gabin's real-life good friend, Lino Ventura.
Here is the complete schedule for this event:
