From legendary director Jean-Pierre Melville comes an underworld comedy of manners. “Bob Le Flambeur” melds the toughness of American gangster films with Gallic sophistication to lay the roadmap for the French New Wave. An aging gambler (Roger Duchesne) navigates the treacherous world of pimps, moneymen and naïve associates while plotting one last score—the heist of the Deauville casino.
