A Robbery In... Style(1978)

A Robbery In... Style is an animated film that parodies classic gangster movies through four distinct national lenses. Each segment spoofs the crime cinema of America, France, Italy, and Russia, complete with cartoon characters modeled after famous movie stars of the 1950s and 1960s. The film playfully deconstructs the tropes and stylistic flourishes that defined mid-century criminal cinema across different cultures, from hard-boiled American heists to the sophisticated European takes on organized crime. By exaggerating the conventions of each country's iconic gangster films, the cartoon delivers sharp satirical humor that celebrates the era's most recognizable cinematic personalities and their signature approaches to crime storytelling.
