In the tuff are melon and tomato seeds that may, thanks to the hydroponic forced feeding, yield up to ten times a normal crop. All told, the Israeli government has invested nearly $500,000 in Kallia's uncertain...

Gabin, of course, is the acknowledged king of French tommy-gun flicks. With his slightly paunchy and degenerate mien he is the very image of the slightly world-weary tuff guy, and the casual manner in which he slaps around both the guilty and the innocent is beyond compare...
