Overview
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.

Featured Comments/Tips
God, France must have been an amazing place to be at this point in time. On the cusp of the New Wave, this movie simmers like a powder keg--it's all noir-inflected but with a jitteriness and modernity to it that really makes it fun. Looking forward to the next decade in my chronological project to see the French films develop.
