It's men on a mission meets men planning a heist this week with 2 classic films from the '50s and '60s.
First up to bat is Robert Aldrich's surprisingly jolly WW2 romp, The Dirty Dozen, a film that paved the way for future fare such as Inglourious Basterds and the reputedly awful Suicide Squad.
Its partner is the celebrated French Film noir heist movie Rififi, directed by blacklisted American director Jules Dassin, and providing a gritty look at the mean streets of 1950s Paris.
