Loser Takes All (UK-import)
Adapted by Graham Greene from his own novel, this witty, glamorous comedy-drama stars Italian screen idol Rossano Brazzi catapulted to international fame in films such as The Barefoot Contessa and Summertime alongside British stars Glynis Johns, Robert Morley, Tony Britton and veteran character actor Felix Aylmer. Released in 1956, Loser Takes All is presented here in a brand-new transfer from the original film elements. Bertrand, an accountant employed by a large London firm, is called to the office of the Managing Director, Dreuther, to explain a mistake in the accounts. Dreuther is highly impressed by the young accountant s skilful explanation of the error and, hearing that Bertrand is soon to marry his spirited young fiancée, tells him to spend the honeymoon not in Bournemouth, but Monte Carlo at the company s expense! However, events in the fabulous Mediterranean paradise do not work out quite as Bertrand had envisaged..
