While vacationing in Nice, problem gambler Jackie Demaistre (Jeanne Moreau, beautifully decked out in designer Pierre Cardin's creations) meets Jean Fournier (Claude Mann), a banker who's just as enamored of casinos as she is. Before too long, their attraction to the vice draws them together; but just as quickly, it threatens to tear them apart. Love is a gamble in this 1963 film directed by Jacques Demy.
