Hollywood legend Burt Lancaster (The Leopard, Elmer Gantry) turns in one of the best performances of career in this gripping, moving masterpiece by French New Wave director Louis Malle (Damaged). He is Lou, an aging, deluded, small-time crook who scrapes a living running numbers for the mob. In his fantasies, he is a big fish in with the big boys like Al Capone. His life takes an interesting turn when he encounters Dave (Robert Joy – CSI: NY, Land of the Dead), a young cocaine dealer who attempts to sell the wares he stole from some heavyweight gangsters before arriving in Atlantic City. The broad is his attractive, ambitious oyster bar waitress partner, Sally (Susan Sarandon – Thelma & Louise, Speed Racer), eager to learn in order to make way for a better life. But Dave’s actions have inevitable consequences resulting in opportunity for Lou in this transfixing, atmospheric tale about love, honour, drugs and money.
Louis Malle paints a vivid picture of the sad, seedy lives of a group of loners in this tale which won numerous accolades including two BAFTAS (Best Actor and Best Direction) and was nominated for 5 Oscars.
