    n 1984 and 1985 I worked as a chip attendant at the Bicycle Club Card Casino in Bell Gardens, California. Many of the casino indoor scenes were filmed there at the five raise blind tables where I worked often. One day while I and a co-worker were on break, we decided to view the current film take at one of the tables with Ryan O'Neal. My co-worker was talking about what we thought Ryan's favorite color might be. Suddenly a really tall man (he was 6'7") standing close to us said "Blue, like his eyes." I asked him how he knew and he said he was Ryan's bodyguard. Then asked us both if we wanted to go see the powder blue shag carpeting walls in Ryan's tour bus. We did have a few minutes left on our break so we said yes. The bus was all blue! Even the ceiling and walls were covered with blue shag carpet and beveled mirrors. It was beautiful. When we returned, the bodyguard introduced us to Ryan. He said hello and had to leave to film more of the movie. Earlier that day, I was filmed walking from the cash cage down the hallway. I just downloaded the movie so I am going to watch it and see if I am in it. I should be in it several times and my friend Lori, who was a cocktail waitress with tux and tails, handed him a drink in the film at the casino table. I will never forget the experience.

    I love that dialogue. It's like awkward beat poetry.

    If it's true that Warner Bros owns the rights to this one, I want to see it on HBO Max or at the very least as a limited release DVD or Blu-Ray. I just have to see this movie now.

      Same here. I’m usually pretty good at tracking down and obtaining lost or obscure movies, but this one is impossible 🤦‍♂️

    • @markelijio6012

      Yes, its true. Because that's why AOL Time Warner owns the rights in 2002 after its 1992 limited re-release as a director's cut like
      Promises in the Dark, Farewell in the King, The Favor and There Goes My Baby, I want to see them again on TNT, Lifetime or Oxygen for the very least.

      HBO pretty much seemed to unleash its entire catalogue in the late 2010s except for the stuff that they didn’t have complete ownership over like tales of thr crypt because they didn’t own the rights to some music, but if they didn’t show it back then I’m not sure why they would now ? They’re trying to cut costs like crazy

    This was Richard Brooks' final picture and sadly, he died in 1993. As of 1998, Warner Bros. owns the rights to this latter rather than anyone else.

    There's gotta be something wrong with me! I see this movie all the time on VHS and love it. I live in Vegas and enjoy craps -- I've had plenty of losses and big wins as well. I've almost experienced every outcome as seen in this movie. It's very true to life. I'm still waiting for this movie to go to DVD. Richard Brooks was indeed a genius!

      Terrible and enjoyable are not at all mutually exclusive.

      At the end of the movie he bets a quarter and continue to play enough to win $89 K. That's not reality! That's a "Fairy Tale"! Not even Disney can come up with a "dream ending" light that!

      I bet your best bet is for it being a vhs rip on a some torrent website. Anything that didn’t make it to dvd or even blue ray when that format peaked in the late 2000s, I’m not sure why they would now ?

    Warner Bros owns the rights to this movie rather than MGM/FOX as Warner Bros. own the MGM movies before 1986 so this would most likely go on the Warner Archive label.

    • @markelijio6012

      AOL Time Warner owns the rights to Fever Pitch (1986/2002) rather than Buena Vista as Warner Bros. own the Turner Entertainment library
      such as MGM, UA, Lorimar, Telepictures, RKO, Rastar/Seven Arts, The Wolper Organization, QDE, CLE, Avon Productions, New Line Cinema,
      Fine Line Features, Castle Rock Entertainment, Bel-Air Entertainment, The Bedford Falls Group, The Geffen Company, The Ladd Company,
      InterMedia, Silver Pictures among others before the spring of 1986, so this would most likely go on the Warner Archive label.

      It was intended to have some comedic elements, but ultimately no. The parts that aren’t meant to be funny are funnier than the parts that are.
