From legendary director Jean-Pierre Melville comes an underworld comedy of manners. "Bob Le Flambeur" melds the toughness of American gangster films with Gallic sophistication to lay the roadmap for the French New Wave. An aging gambler (Roger Duchesne) navigates the treacherous world of pimps, moneymen and naïve associates while plotting one last score-the heist of the Deauville casino.

Two French drifter pilgrims leave Paris to visit the tomb of Spanish Saint John de Compostello. Their motives are not purely religious as one man wishes to defy God and the other to find a good place to beg. Along the way, the men meet God, Jesus, Mary, Satan and more.
