Classe Tous Risques Page #2

Synopsis: Abel Davis is a criminal, hunted in Italy. The police are closing in, so he and his pal Raymond arrange to flee back to France with Abel's wife, Thérèse, and their two young sons. Abel and Raymond commit a brazen robbery to get funds, killing two men; in the escape, more die. Abel arrives in Nice with the boys, calls his pals in Paris, and gets the brush-off. Reluctantly, they send a stranger, Eric Stark, to bring Abel to Paris, but he's getting the message he's on his own. Honor, friendship, and debt now count for little. What can Abel, a wanted man with two small children and only Stark as a friend, do? "Never give ground," he tells Eric, but how long can he hold to his code?

Fargier, all our friends....

They're still there, aren't they ?

Yes... We're there, all of us.

Don't worry !

All right. I'll call you

again in two days' time.

O.K. ? Ciao !

Ciao ! See you... In 2 days' time.

Don't worry too much !

Between the Porte St Denis

and the Porte St Martin,

there were 50 Ritons. But

there was only one Riton of the Porte.

And Riton of the Porte was not one

to think cheaply of friendship.

His business was done

A beer.

A beer.

What's wrong ?

Nothing.

Denise...

- Yes...

When Jeannot comes,

tell him to meet me at Fargier's.

At his hotel.

The whole story, starting

in Italy, that was him....

It was.

Where's the meeting place ?

The Grimaldi Post office.

As it used to be.

A former safe-cracker, Raoul Fargier

owned a hotel and a house in Le Vsinet.

He still got involved from time to

time. But he was very cautious.

Jean Martin, aka Little Jeannot,

still active, was an unlucky guy.

And in 2 days' time,

he'll phone me.

You already said it.

Such a situation

requires thinking things over.

I don't think so.

It's a simple enough situation.

You always find things simple.

Well... we drive down with an ambulance,

a machine-gun,

and we bring the kids back.

Didn't he ask for this ?

Yes. But what does "we drive

down" mean ?

I can say it too.

You forget one thing :

For a start, you can't go.

He's on probation.

Well... Jeannot, I don't get it :

what are you saying ?

Your leaving Paris for 2 days

is out of the question.

If you're summoned by the judge,

what'll you do ?

We can't send Abel a man

who risks being arrested.

I'll go even further.

Riton can't either....

Nor can I actually.

It is not for us to do this.

You can be sure of it though,

I'd like going too.

Some people could talk.

We're known as his friends.

What we need...

is someone who won't

attract attention.

But some really trustworthy guy.

There aren't many of those.

We don't need fifty. Just one !

It should be possible to find.

Yes, maybe...

but we must look for him

straight away.

That's it.

And you centralize it all at my place.

Right... You'll go to Nevada's.

I'll call him at his bar.

For the rest, trust me.

We'll buy an ambulance with

all the legit paperwork.

No use getting excited.

Bye.

- Bye, Jeannot. See you later.

I know them. I know them all.

Your Fargier will send you on a goose

chase to avoid getting involved.

Of course, he won't.

Abel hadn't got his phone number.

Otherwise, he would have phoned him.

Why didn't you give him

his number ?

Too late for that.

Give him and we'll leave

for the country.

That way, Fargier will have

to give back what he owes.

I owe him one too.

José Giovanni

José Giovanni (22 June 1923, Paris, France – 24 April 2004, Lausanne, Switzerland) was the pseudonym of Joseph Damiani, a French writer and film-maker of Corsican origin who became a naturalized Swiss citizen in 1986. A former collaborationist and criminal who at one time was sentenced to death, Giovanni often drew his inspiration from personal experience or from real gangsters, such as Abel Danos in his 1960 film Classe tous risques, overlooking that they had been members of the French Gestapo. In his films as well as his novels, while praising masculine friendships and advocating the confrontation of the individual against the world, he often championed the underworld but was always careful to hide his own links with the Nazi occupiers of France during World War II. more…
