...One of the more delightful surprises....A very funny, jaunty movie...
New York Times
Lagging direction, so-so thesping and usual femme and lowdown aspects of this type production make this an ordinary entry.

Rating: 8/10 --
Bob is the perfect Jean-Pierre Melville hero...and Bob le flambeur (Bob the gambler) is about as characteristic a Melville movie as you'll ever see.

Rating: 4/5 --
Its realism is not the reality of life, but of the kind of movies that give shape to the disordered lives of the people who watch movies.

Rating: 4/5 --
Melville's actually more interested in his central character's gentlemanly heroics and fractured obsession with risking everything at the roulette table.

4 stars out of 5 -- [I]t's a terrific character study, not only of the chivalrous gangster planning a casino heist, but of Paris.
