...FLAMBEUR opens with a wonderful shot of Paris' Montmartre district. Softened by the early dawn, the view is reminiscent of an old, grainy photograph. But as the camera descends into the Place Pigalle and the back room of a seedy nightclub where Bob Montagne (Roger Duchesne) is losing miserably at craps, the atmosphere changes to one which is highly stylized and starkly black-and-white.

Six three-member teams competed, each hunter limited to a single shot. As the dawn mist rose off the Sweetwater River, Watt took aim through his telescopic sight at an antelope 150 yds. away.
