Special Guest: Ginette VincendeauGuest Co-Hosts: Samm Deighan, Andrew Leavold
French Month continues with a look at Jean-Pierre Melville’s Bob le Flambeur (1956), the first of many gangster films he would direct. 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 (and its remake) while Ginette Vincendeau (Jean-Pierre Melville: An American in Paris) talks Melville overall.
