Looks excellent. Hopefully these Dassins continue to impress like Rififi did. Can Thieves' Highway and Night And the City be far behind?

A late addition to the extras line-up:

We filmed Amy Taubin talking about New York movies at Anthology Films last week - it's a personalised history of NY on film, taking in everything from Shirley Clarke and Jonas Mekas to Spike Lee and Steven Soderbergh.
