Trivia:
In the opening shot Chrissie, Sally's sister, gets excited when she sees a large model elephant. The elephant called "Lucy" was a tourist attraction, built in 1881, to lure prospective land buyers to Margate (originally called South Atlantic City), a small town south of Atlantic City. She was left to deteriorate over the years and on the brink of demolition when the people of Margate raised the money to have her restored in 1971. Today "Lucy" still stands in Margate as a landmark and is on the register of National Historic Places. moreGoofs:

This was a fantastic movie, great acting, good setting, and a good story. Burt Lancaster plays an aging gangster who teams up with a troubled young casino worker(Susan Sarandon, in breakthrough role), when their lives get out of hand. It's nice to see Burt Lancaster in films again, he hadnt been in anything much since the 50's. Overall this is a great film, with meaning. ***1/2 out of ****.
