Plot
A gambler and a woman at the casinos of Nice.
Sinekatalog’s take
Jacques Demy's romance follows a gambler and a platinum-haired player in the casinos of Nice. Light, whirling and obsessive, with Jeanne Moreau superb and Michel Legrand's music, it is a stylish study of risk and addiction.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
