Bob le Flambeur

ActionAdventureCrimeDramaThriller103 min

Bob Montagne is a well-known Paris gambler whose charm and long ties to the local police have made him a fixture of the city’s nightlife. Roger Duchesne’s Bob has spent years drifting through clubs, betting rooms, and backroom deals, but a losing streak leaves him desperate enough to plan one last score: robbing the Deauville casino during Grand Prix weekend, when the vaults are full. Moving from Montmartre streets to the resort coast, the story follows Bob through a world of small-time crooks, hangers-on, and watchful inspectors, where friendship, routine, and luck are all part of the gamble.
