Bob le Flambeur (1956): Another notable film of the disaffected criminal subculture from Jean-Pierre Melville, director of the similarly themed Le Cercle Rouge and Classe Tous Risque. When Bob, an inveterate gambler, suffers an extended streak of bad luck, he recruits a small group of friends to crack open a casino safe. But in the immediate buildup to the heist, Bob gets sidetracked by his addiction...with ironic results. French actor Roger Duchesne, as Bob, carries the film with perfect platinum coolness.
