Filmed over a painstaking period of two years, such was Jean-Pierre Melville's attention to detail. Daniel Cauchy, who plays Paolo, found time to make four other films in that period.
Jean-Pierre Melville auditioned Alain Delon for the character of Paolo. He rejected him for fear he would steal the show.
Stanley Kubrick once said in an interview he gave up doing "Crime Films" because Jean-Pierre Melville did the greatest with Bob le Flambeur (1956) and Jacques Becker did the second best with Touchez Pas au Grisbi (1954). He later directed A Clockwork Orange (1971) however stating he never considered it a "crime film", but a socio-political film.
Favorite movie of Jim Jarmusch.
The film is considered a precursor to the French New Wave films that started in 1959.
"[subtitled version] Bob Montagné: I was born here. It was not so dirty then. And I left to conquer the world. I was fourteen when I left my mother. Anne: Did you go far? Bob Montagné: Yes... a mile away. Anne: And your father? Bob Montagné: I use my mother's name. Anne: She was unlucky with you both. Bob Montagné: I returned ten years later, early one morning. I saw an old woman on her knees, scrubbing away, as she always had. That's how I recognized her. I left without a word. Then I sent her a postal order each month. One month it was sent back. She had stopped scrubbing."
"Bob Montagné: Seven minutes. That's far too long. Roger: Locks are like women, they take practice."
