Filmbar70 presents Belmondo vs Sharif in Le Casse (The Burglars)

On May the 22nd at the Roxy Bar & Screen in London Bridge, Jean-Paul Belmondo ('A Bout de Souffle') goes head to head with Omar Sharif ('Dr Zhivago') in a deadly battle of wits laced with laconic humour and crackling tension, as Filmbar70 proudly presents a classic slice of '70s Euro-crime cool: 'Le Casse' (AKA 'The Burglars').
Tickets here: http://www.wegottickets.com/event/222356 A prime example of the glamorous intercontinental caper, 'Le Casse' brims with death-defying stunts performed by Belmondo himself and features an astounding high-speed pursuit orchestrated by the king of the car-chase Remy Julienne, all enacted to the breezy sounds of Ennio Morricone.
When the nonchalant Azad (Belmondo) and his crew of thieves find themselves land-locked after a lucrative jewel robbery in Athens, they have no choice other than to lie low. But Azad has not counted on the tenacity of Abel Zacharia (Sharif), a corrupt cop intent on making a killing from Azad's misdemeanour. As the cat and mouse game unfolds, the the stakes get higher, leading Azel to realise that this could be the caper to end them all...
