|---|
BOB LE FLAMBEUR (also known as Bob The Gambler) is a movie written and directed by Jean-Pierre Melville in 1955.
Bob is always gambling. Cards, horses, and dice are his life. Almost broke, he's seriously considering to rob the safe of the casino of Deauville. But will his partners keep the secret until the big day?
A movie which influenced a lot of the french New Wave.
--Daniel Staebler, Resident Scholar
