Movie about con-man, card player and his student, magnificent performance by Jan Nowicki., 11 July 1999
10/10
Author: Wiesiek from Portland, OR, USA

This film is about con-man, great cheater, card player who was making big money, living in most expensive hotels in Poland during 80's. Intriguing plot, good acting. Jan Nowicki, known Polish actor, is great. I think, his best performance until this time. I see similarity to USA movie "Color of Money" from 1986. Well, "Wielki Szu" was made in 1982 !?!?
