French Month continues with a look at Jean-Pierre Melville’s Bob Le Flambeur. Released in 1956, the film was the first of many gangster films directed by Melville. Based on his story with dialogue by Auguste LeBreton, it tells the tale of Bob (Roger Duchesne), an aging man who robbed a bank 20 years prior, and now spends his time going from game to game -- craps, cards, whatever. He even has a slot machine in his Montmartre apartment.Samm Deighan and Andrew Leavold join Mike to discuss the film while Ginette Vincendeau (Jean-Pierre Melville: An American in Paris) talks Melville overall.
