Summary: It is 1957. J.C. Cullen is a young
man from a small town, with a talent for winning at
craps, who leaves for the big city to work as a professional
gambler. While there, he breaks the bank at a private
craps game at the Gem Club, owned by George Cole,
and falls in love with two women, one of them Cole's
wife. Infuriated, Cole wagers everything on the craps
table, including the Gem Club itself, and he and Cullen
have it out.
Comments:
What
a surprisingly good movie this one turned out to be.
This is the type of film that I've been looking for
ages. Particularly important for me was the fantastic-looking
Chicago, which I still keep thinking about. The back
cover doesn't do this film justice, it's superb, and
in my top-5 for sure.
