So, in desperate need of cash, the ex-gangster organises one last heist, setting his sights on robbing Deauville Casino's impenetrable safe, allegedly crammed with 800 million francs. As Bob and his hand-picked team iron out the details of the audacious plan, the stage seems set for a final, winner-take-all robbery. However, greed, blackmail, and even death stand in the way of success. Can Bob the Gambler get away scot-free?

“Radio interview with Jean-Pierre Melville” is 20’33’’ for me
“Video interview with Daniel Cauchy (“Paulo”)” is 22’ for me

Also the English subtitles were very off, I had to put -18000 ms delay at the beginning, after 30 minutes about -16000 ms and from then on 2 seconds less every 10 minutes. Luckily VLC was able to do this easily.

Nevertheless, thanks for the movie!
