...This was also Dassin's first displaced-person movie; you'll understand why, seeing as how the directed was essentially deported from his native country and home industry. He would keep convening foreigners - American, Italian, German, Swiss, Russian - to make mischief in exotic locales: in London (Night and the City), Paris (Rififi), Athens (Never on Sunday), Istanbul (Topkapi).

And if we have made these men into hip-hop moguls that are worth upwards of hundreds of millions of dollars, then certainly we should spend the time to understand their history, what has made them so famous.
