Classe tous risques (Consider All Risks, first released in the U.S. as The Big Risk) is a 1960 French Italian International co-production black-and-white gangster film directed by Claude Sautet and starring Lino Ventura, Jean-Paul Belmondo and Sandra Milo, which wasn't in high esteem at the time of its release, overshadowed by the French New Wave, but nevertheless greatly influenced the French cinema, especially Jean-Pierre Melville's work. However, in Finland the film was banned from 1961 to 1968. It is an adaptation of a novel by José Giovanni, telling the story of Abel Davos (Ventura), French mobster trying to make his way from Italy through Marseille to Paris and hunted by the police, and Eric Stark (Belmondo), who turns out to be the only person willing to help Davos.
