*This listing is for the standard edition version and does NOT come with a limited edition slipcase!* New York City professor Axel Freed (James Caan, The Godfather) is in crippling debt due to a gambling addiction. He owes over forty thousand dollars to his bookie, Hips (Paul Sorvino, Goodfellas), who has mob connections and threatens violence against Axel if he doesn’t pay his debts. Managing to borrow enough money from his mother to pay what he owes, Axel flees town with his girlfriend Billie (Lauren Hutton, American Gigolo) for Las Vegas, which thrusts him back into the world of gambling, resulting in an anxiety-inducing spiral of unpaid debts, violence, and despair. The American debut of Czech-born British filmmaker Karel Reisz (Saturday Night, Sunday Morning), THE GAMBLER is now an iconic entry in the pantheon of 1970s crime cinema. Featuring a manic, career defining, performance from James Caan accompanied by stunning on location photography from cinematographer Victor J. Kemper (Dog Day Afternoon), production design by Philip Rosenberg (All That Jazz), and palpably tense editing work from future filmmaker Roger Spottiswoode (Under Fire), Reisz’s film is one of the great American films of the New Hollywood era.

From Karel Reisz, the renowned director of Saturday Night and Sunday Morning, Night Must Fall, Isadora, The Gambler, Who’ll Stop the Rain, The French Lieutenant’s Woman and Sweet Dreams, comes this cult classic starring screen great Vanessa Redgrave (Julia, Mary, Queen of Scots) and legendary character actor David Warner (Cross of Iron, Perfect Friday) in one of his few starring roles. A gorilla-fixated artist with distinctly anarchist tendencies, Morgan (Warner) tries to regain the affections of his divorced wife Leonie (Redgrave) by variously kidnapping her, attempting to blow up her future mother-in-law and attacking her fiancé (Robert Stephens, Sherlock Holmes of Billy Wilder’s The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes). Cut with scenes from King Kong and Tarzan films, Morgan’s depiction of madness, dark humor and vintage performances made it one of the wildest, funniest and most provocative comedies of the ’60s. Nominated for two Oscars: Best Actress in a Leading Role (Redgrave) and Best Costume Design, Black-and-White (Jocelyn Rickards). Special Features: -NEW Audio Commentary by Entertainment Journalist and Author Bryan Reesman -Optional English Subtitles -Dual-Layered BD50 Disc -Trailers
