This is easily one of my favorite 80's films. Having been several times to Atlantic City in the past couple years, I enjoyed seeing how it looked in 1980 and thereabouts, a time when buildings were being torn down and big casinos being built. Burt Lancaster, who passed away several years ago, is outstanding as a small-time hustler who seems to live in his glory days of the past. Sarandon is also great as a naive young woman who dreams of being a dealer and going to Monacco.
