Trivia
Actress Ginger Rogers was offered the role of Grace but turned it down, the part in the end being played by Kate Reid. Reportedly, Rogers replied with a note saying: "How dare you! At this stage in my career, that I'm going to end up in this filth!". See more »Goofs
There is no channel 7 on TV in Philadelphia. However, channel 7 may have been used in order to distance the fictional portrayal from the actual Philadelphia stations. See more »Crazy Credits
As the end credits roll, an old building on the boardwalk is demolished to some of the tunes that appear earlier in the film. Each time the wrecking ball hits, we hear a cymbal crash and the soundtrack jumps to a different song. See more »Soundtracks

This was a fantastic movie, great acting, good setting, and a good story. Burt Lancaster plays an aging gangster who teams up with a troubled young casino worker(Susan Sarandon, in breakthrough role), when their lives get out of hand. It's nice to see Burt Lancaster in films again, he hadnt been in anything much since the 50's. Overall this is a great film, with meaning. ***1/2 out of ****.
