Quote:
Originally broadcast on television over four suspenseful weeks in 1965, BELPHEGOR: PHANTOM OF THE LOUVRE was an unprecedented pop sensation that captivated and terrified all of France.

The sinister, ghostly presence of the mysterious Belphegor is haunting the Louvre, seeking the Treasure of the Kings of France. Against him are pitted the indomitable Commissioner Menadier and an intrepid young student, André Bellegarde, who has his own reasons for wanting to catch this eerie apparition. A duel to the death begins between the murderous Phantom of the Louvre and his enemies throughout the City of Lights.

Based on a novel written in 1927 by Arthur Bernède, the author of Judex, this classic of French criminal literature spawned no less than three motion pictures, one television serial and one animated show. This serial, however, remains the definitive cinematic adaptation, bringing out a spirit of pulp adventure along with an unshakable sensation of fear and supernatural menace, always lurking just below the surface. Director Claude Barma capitalizes on the kitsch, refined, elegant and nervous atmosphere of Paris, in particular the magic interiors of the Louvre with its history and magic.

Jacques Becker’s (Le Trou) Touchez Pas Au Grisbi occupies a significant part in French cinema history; it exerted a huge influence on subsequent directors such as Jean-Pierre Melville (Le Doulos), Henri Verneuil (The Sicilian Clan) and Claude Sautet (Classe Tous Risques). Max (Jean Gabin, Port of Shadows) is an aging gangster who manages to pull off his final heist, a spectacular gold bullion robbery at Orly airport. All is well until Max’s former girlfriend Josy (Jeanne Moreau, Viva Maria!) tips off a rival gangster, Angelo (Lino Ventura, Razzia Sur La Chnouf). Angelo kidnaps Max’s partner and best friend and threatens to kill him unless Max hands over the loot from his robbery. Touchez Pas Au Grisbi was the birth the French policier, a European transposition of the fantastic American gangster films and film noirs of the 1940s. Based on a book by Albert Simonin (Cold Sweat) and beautifully shot in striking black-and-white by Pierre Montazel (Hi-Jack Highway).
