Dassin ------------- Liar or Gambler?, Reivew on Rififi

There is a passage in imdb trivia that Dassin said he was broke when he brought the film to Cannes. . . . Playing in the casino, even the most basic gambling chips are borrowed from the producer. It can be said that he himself has no money. . He meant that he was poor and it was difficult to make this film. He is trying to win over a "sympathetic" audience for himself. And imagine yourself as a lone hero. . . .

But in fact, as several films before film director Dassin in the business can be considered moderate success

BRUTE FORCE
THE NAKED the CITY
THIEVES HIGHWAY
NIGHT the AND THE the CITY

box office movie of the above, the equivalent of today can be ranked 30-50. . Today's annual ranking is equivalent to how much box office? ? About 4000W-8000W, the director who can direct this level of film today will be poor? ? Moreover, Dassin also runs a business in France, and has friends. His films are in France, and the audience ratio is also higher. Would such a Dassin be penniless?

There are only 2 possibilities to solve this problem.
1. He is completely nonsense.
2. He lost all his money. He is a good gambler.

Another proof of this second possibility is that he also boasted that it was the borrowed chips that allowed him to win a lot of money. It can be seen that the nature of gamblers has not changed. .

In addition, his low cost of this movie is estimated to fool you. , in my own experience, the film is at least medium cost in France.
