In Paris, Bob Montagne is practically synonymous with gambling -- and winning. He is kind, classy and well-liked by virtually everyone in town, including police inspector Ledru. However, when Bob's luck turns sour, he begins to lose friends and makes the most desperate gamble of his life: to rob the Deauville casino during Grand Prix weekend, when the vaults are full. Unfortunately, Bob soon learns that the game is rigged and the cops are on to him.

Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
This light, breezy 1955 heist film is probably the least characteristic movie Jean-Pierre Melville ever made.

rotten:
Lagging direction, so-so thesping and usual femme and lowdown aspects of this type production make this an ordinary entry.

Its realism is not the reality of life, but of the kind of movies that give shape to the disordered lives of the people who watch movies.

Bob le Flambeur (1955) has a good claim to be the first film of the French New Wave.
