SBurgess Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 I was very excited to see Rififi on the schedule--I've been waiting for it a long time. I set the PVR to record it but it seemed to disappear from the schedule before it aired. What happened, and will it be re-scheduled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lzcutter Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 SB, You might want to check your DVR because *Riffi* aired as scheduled on Thursday evening, Mar. 17th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBurgess Posted March 19, 2011 Author Share Posted March 19, 2011 Damn! I was afraid of that. And the waiting begins again.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redriver Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 I like RIFIFI. I guess that's not the point of this thread. But it's a tough, tense little thriller. Jules Dassin? I may be wrong. I hope you get to watch it soon. Sprocket Man will bring the popcorn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SansFin Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I wish I would have remembered this movie was scheduled so that I could have posted a thread to advise all to watch it. I do not like that people call it *Rififi* because the title is truly *Du Rififi Chez Les Hommes* I believe the movie is much like its title: it cannot be reduced to simple terms of this and that and each person translates it in their own way. For many years I took the title to mean 'The trouble with men'. I could not imagine any woman more sensuous or worldly than Magali Noel. I wished very much to be like her. I was sure that being a bad woman carried a heavy price but that the penalty could be embraced as part of the joy of being thoroughly wicked. I was twelve. It is a disappointment in my life that I never became that kind of person. I hope that TCM airs it again soon so that more people will see it.
