Du rififi chez les femmes ("The Riff Raff Girls") is a French-Italian film directed by Alex Joffé and released in 1959.[1]

Plot

In Brussels, rival criminal gangs confront each other. One is led by Vicky, proprietor of a night club on a barge; the other by Bug, who wants to reign over the lucrative night life business. Vicky and her gang, who are planning a bank raid, are going to see their plans confounded by Bug. In effect, he is being manipulated by a police officer who forces him to help break up a drug trafficking deal in return for keeping his residence in Belgium. Bug and Yoko will strongly compromise the bank raid, believing that it is linked to the drugs.[1]

Book

The film is based on the Auguste Le Breton novel, Du rififi chez les femmes, published in 1957 and reprinted in 2010.[2]
