The Gamblers

I thought this film would be good because Stuart Margolin is in it, pre- Angel Martin on the Rockford Files. I was mistaken, it is pretty bad, the photography looks nice however the print that I viewed was scratched beyond repair. A very poorly made co-production. Don Gordon is a good character actor, but character actors can't always carry an entire picture.

So i had never heard of this film, but stumbled across it and seeing that Suzy Kendall was in it i gave it a look. This film really surprised me how entertaining it was and also what great international actors we have.

It features well known British actors such as Kenneth Griffith and Suzy Kendall (who also has a giallo connection).

We have American actors such as Don Gordon and Stuart Margolin.

We have Italian actors such as Massamo Serrato (again been in giallo films).

We also have a very well known Chinese/Hong Kong actor Richard Ng in a very early role here, without his trademark moustache.

The film itself was apparently filmed in the former Yugoslavia, so it couldnt of been more international.

I am a big fan of giallo films and Hong Kong movies, so i always like to see those actors.

The film itself was enjoyable and is similar to something like Gambit starring Michael Caine.

Check it out.
