TCM’s Film Noir of the Week Saturday Night-Sunday Morning at 12:45 and 10 a.m. ET is Jeanne Pierre Melville’s Le Deuxieme (1966), The Second Wind.

Eddie Muller chooses another French film. It runs over two-and-a-half hours.

An escaped con becomes involved with a double-crossing gang planning to steal two tons of gold from an armored truck.

N.S.: At 31 words, that may represent a new standard in brevity for David.

Well, since the whole misbegotten notion of “film noir” was coined by some pretentious frenchman (was I being redundant there?), I say, Why not?

I've never seen this film or heard of it. I have seen some of Melville's other works on TCM.
