Touchez pas au grisbi is a 1954 film directed by Jacques Becker and starring Jean Gabin, Jeanne Moreau, Lino Ventura, Dora Doll and René Dary. It is based on the novel by Albert Simonin.

Background

The French actor Daniel Gélin originally refused the role of Max, seeing himself as too young for the part. Gabin then agreed to do the film, and his role helped to relaunch his career, which had been suffering since the end of the Second World War.
