Le deuxieme souffle

N.p. N.p., 1966. Vintage black-and-white glossy photographic French lobby card for the 1966 French film noir, with a "no one under 18 admitted" label on the recto, and an "IJ" stamp on verso.

Director Melville's ninth film, and while this is saying something, probably his bleakest. Ventura plays a mobster who emerges from prison determined to reclaim his old crime empire, only to find that times have changed since he left. Railing against said changes, he sends himself and his family on a downward spiral that pits nearly everyone on both sides of the law against him.

47 x 63 inches. Very Good plus, with pinholes to corners.

Criterion Collection 448. Buss, French Film Noir. Grant, p. 181. Spicer, p. 453.
