Storyline

A team of professional card sharks set out to fleece a wealthy aristocrat of his savings and receive an I.O.U. in payment, which turns out to be worthless. An interesting international cast and a setting in beautiful downtown Dubrovnik (a resort town in Yugoslavia) makes for an enjoyable 'caper' film.

User Reviews

not particularly good

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.
