Razzia sur la chnouf (French criminal slang for "Raid on the Dope"), released in the USA as Razzia is a 1955 French B&W crime noir movie directed by Henri Decoin and based on a novel by Auguste Le Breton (Rififi, Le rouge est mis, Du rififi chez les femmes, Le clan des Siciliens), starring Jean Gabin and Magali Noël. Paul Liski (Marcel Dalio), boss of the French drug ring, recruits a master criminal Henri Ferré alias "Le Nantais" (Gabin) who returns to France from America. Liski needs to improve efficiency of distribution of drugs, and Ferré, assisted by a pair of hitmen, begins his work. A legal cover for Henri is a restaurant Le Troquet. Soon Henri starts an affair with the restaurant cashier Lisette (Magali Noël). Meanwhile, the deeper Henri gets into the drug trade, the more successful the police become...
