The Man Who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo (1935)
Director: Stephen Roberts
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Brisk romantic comedy, co-scripted by Nunnally Johnson, with the debonair Colman as a White Russian aristocrat: at first, he earns his daily bread as a cabbie, but then strikes lucky on the Riviera gaming tables. Bennett's the vamp assigned to lure him back to the casino and make sure he loses what he's just won.Author: GM
