I have watched this movie three times. I love it. All the performances were spot on. From beginning to end I was drawn in and I fell in love with the gambler and his sidekick. The female leads were equally captivating. It was a rollercoaster of emotions but I was so glad to go along for the ride. The musical score was riveting. If you want romance and a story about star crossed lovers this is it. Even the supporting cast were excellent. The scene at the end with the gamblers was a gem. There was a good balance between the dramatic and the romance.
