Every day on the set of "Du Rififi Chez les Hommes" in Paris, the American director Jules Dassin's producers would ask him, "Where is the fist fight?" Fighting was supposed to be the point of "Rififi," the title -- Moroccan-derived gangster slang for "brawl" -- under which the film was to be released in the U.S. "Tomorrow," Dassin would promise. "Tomorrow."

Instead of a knuckle-slammer, "Rififi" was to become a tone poem.
