I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Sadly Over-hyped

A waste of 90 minutes of my life

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Forget the reviews that harp on about "Casino Royale" - the fact that an important plot point was lifted from that book is IRRELEVANT to the enjoyment to be had from one of Britain's Best Sixties Movies.And don't concern yourself with Warren Beatty either. Only hired to sell the movie Stateside, he sleep-walks through it, while awaiting fame as Clyde Barrow, George Roundy, et al.Instead, delight in the performance of the lovely Susannah York (who sadly passed, earlier this year) who sparkles in this project - the sterling work by the bizarre Murray Melvin - the excellent wallow in Napoleonic evil, delivered with relish by the great Eric Porter - and above all, the outstanding turn from the incomparable Clive Revill (who, at 81, is still with us).After memorable appearances in many British movies, Revill relocated to America in the early Seventies and squandered his talents as one of the great character actors on TV fare (although he did get to shine as Villain Of The Week in a Columbo).But here, he excels as a quirky Scotland Yard detective, in possibly his best outing ever. Truly he was one of those rare actors who always gave more than was on the page.Add to these a slew of Sixties kitsch - and not forgetting a literate script - and you have one of the Great British Sixties Movies. Enjoy!

Warren Beatty struggled through a few duds in-between his star-making role in "Splendor In The Grass" and his re-emergence as a superstar in "Bonnie & Clyde". This film, though Warren is good in it, is incredibly slim. The production looks great, there's livelier-than-usual pacing from director Jack Smight, but it's just a puff piece--and not likely to be something Beatty is very proud of. Plot has a scam-artist in Europe breaking into a playing card factory and changing the reverse designs into code (I kid you not) so he can successfully cheat at all the top casinos! Much of the film is exposition, a big build-up to the climax, and supporting players Susannah York and Clive Revill are left without much to do. Flashy outing certainly looks handsome, but it's swinging '60s balderdash. ** from ****

People often say that major movie stars are just themselves in one role after another... Certainly many successful leading men and women do maintain a more or less consistent identity from one movie to the next...Beatty's characterization of Barney Lincoln is full of subtle, precise detail... He is a trained professional, whose cheating methods is to mark high value cards...Barney knows how to get the job done, and understands when things are getting a little too tough... But as an up-and-coming poker player facing a long-time master of the game, his cunning is tested through bluff and double bluff... Not only is there a huge fortune at stake, but also his status of being the luckiest gambler of them all...Susannah York seems to have quite a flush of youthful beauty as the spirited blonde in pursue of a handsome young player chasing his win on the Baccarat table...The film is not a complete bore, but you won't think too much about it once it's over...

The movie isn't really a comedy, or suspenseful. It relies on Beatty's charms (who does "deliver") and one good idea. However, interesting at first, you know where it's going, and the whole thing becomes too predictable and unbelievable. I kept waiting for something original to come out of the blue, but that never happened. Warren is a much better criminal in Bonnie and Clyde, $ (1972) and others.PS Instead of Susannah (Angel) throwing the gun to the water, she could have given it to Warren (Barney!...) and he would have lost it somehow. Whatever. Not a total waste of time.
