Description

Collectible square-format Laserdisc, offered in its original sleeve, illustrated in black and white with photographs of the main actors from the film "Touchez pas au Grisbi". The cover features a central visual highlighting Jean Gabin, Jeanne Moreau, and Lino Ventura, under the direction of Jacques Becker. The film's title is prominently displayed in red letters, surrounded by a gold frame on a black background, typical of French cinema classic editions.

The upper left corner of the sleeve displays the "LaserDisc" logo, confirming the video format. At the top, the mention "Les Grands Classiques" (The Great Classics) indicates an edition dedicated to major works of cinematic heritage. The director's name, Jacques Becker, is inscribed in golden capital letters, as is the mention "FILMS OFFICE" at the bottom right, which identifies the publisher of this version.

The visible side shows a sleeve in good overall condition, despite some signs of wear on the edges and a noticeable shine on the protective plastic. No major defects are visible on the jacket itself, apart from slight marks due to storage. The central photograph, as well as the texts and logos, remain perfectly legible.

The inscriptions on the sleeve also indicate the presence of the "DELA" logo (Paris - Film Roman), guaranteeing an official edition. The graphic design, sober and elegant, evokes the aesthetic of video media from the 1980s-1990s, a period during which the Laserdisc was prized for the quality of its image and sound.

This Laserdisc is a large-format video medium, intended to be played on a Laserdisc player, and is aimed at those looking for an emblematic piece linked to the history of French cinema. The visual highlights the atmosphere of the period crime film and the renown of the cast.
