Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Belmondo and Delon in top form
This is one of the all-time fun French gangster films. I saw it in a cinema in Paris, but just try to find the DVD or videotape! I guess they're trying to increase its rarity value by foisting a much inferior film, Borsalino & Company, on Delon and Belmondo fans. Well, this is the genuine article, more Marseille than the real city, perhaps 60 years or so ago, so just enjoy the great dialogue and scenarios IF YOU EVER MANAGE TO GET YOUR HANDS ON THIS TAPE OR (BETTER) DVD.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Once upon a time before the Godfather...
The special emphasis in the customes , settings and musical backdrop makes of this work one of the more sincere tribute to the gangster films of the Hollywood fifties .
Belmondo and Delon meet in the screen for the first time . The script flies from Beverly to Marseille which represents in France what Sicilia to Italia . These two small - time hoodlums will be the focus for this notable and unforgettable issue which altogether with Le cercle rouge (Jean Pierre Melville) and the Sicilian clan ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - a great movie
I can only endorse the preceding comments - the great acting, highly catchy soundtrack and the all round talent make this an unforgetable movie; and yes, it should only be seen with subtitles.

I agree that it's a Thinking Persons movie, ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The coolest gangster film ever
This is a great film. The musical score still sticks in my mind since I saw the film as a child. The initial fight scene between Belmondo and Delon is one of the great classic scenes in the movies. I also remember the fish market scene, as the duo begin to slowly take control over Marseilles' rackets. They have to re release this on video.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - OUTSTANDING & LOT'S FUN
Originally called "The Bandits of Marseille", "Borsalino" should only be seen SUB-TITLED, the dubbed version has ruined the film. Why it is "R" rated is beyond me...and yes I have the original soundtrack which is not for sale.
