A young, improbably handsome Leslie Nielson plays a former DA whose wife was accidentally killed by the mob. As a private citizen, he is now out to get a big time mob boss, played by Richard Conte, who's muscling in on the casino business in a mythical Nevada (or California) town. The boss currently is trying to buy a casino operated by MacDonald Carey, who harbors a deep, dark secret having to do with the death of a low-level mobster. This is a highly interesting and complex plot, and bears careful viewing. Seeing veteran actors Carey and Conte together with the up and coming Nielson is an added hoot. No twist ending, for a change. Definitely worth watching. One small gripe: in order to pad out the running time, the director or editor keeps cutting back to a dice game that quickly gets repetitive.
