Quote:
The Gambler is a 1974 feature film starring James Caan, Lauren Hutton, and Paul Sorvino.

The film is loosely based on the short novel The Gambler by Fyodor Dostoyevsky and was filmed at a time when leading actor James Caan was battling his own addiction to cocaine. Caan was nominated for a Golden Globe for his performance.

I think the movie gets the psyche of a gambling addict right. I like the way James Caan portrays the risk-seeking character with subtlety and everyday-ness. He does not call attention to himself, which is good.

jmovies, you might want to put the year in the title of the thread to distinguish it from the very recent Wahlberg remake.
