La grosse caisse aka The Big Swag (1965) French Black Comedy Noir
Opening V.O [English subs]. For 10 years head ticket puncher Felix Pignol at station la Rapée saw the money train arrive at 0:49 AM. It was (Sprague-Thomson) motorized carriage 517 with the daily takings of the 300 stations on the way to the treasury of the RAPT with on board 600 million worth of change. The carriage was jokingly called "the Big Swag...."
And it had been transformed into a mobile vault. Three money collectors divided the bills and coin into various steel draws. An easy job. La Rapée was the last station before the treasury of the RAPT that was located in a basement 900 meters further along.
