Review of Bob le Flambeur (1956) by Eric R — 09 Apr 2011
Bob is a well respected gambler who is know throughout town. He is suave and sophisticated, and is even good friends with the chief of police. When Bob's luck runs out and he begins to go on a long losing streak, he pulls together some gangster to attempt a heist at the casino.
Its no wonder that PTA has stated that Sydney in Hard Eight was modeled after Bob Le Flabeur. His attitude and demeanor are irresistible and whenever he is on screen I found myself paying complete attention.
The film is shot in a Noir style with shadowing thta really pulls you into this world. Lots of suave gangster talk mixed with French New Wave sensibilities with the enigmatic young female in tact. You gotta love how this film ends too.
