Oh how i wish they made quality movies llike this today.The acting is real ,the storyline believable ,and they just bring back memories of a better time.Thankyou for sharing.:)
This movie brings me back to memories of my father. He had a gambling addiction. Thankfully, he recovered from it. I remember him taking me to the horse races. I had a way of picking the winners. He called me his “lucky charm” but winning streaks don’t last forever. I have an addictive personality myself, so I have to really stick to my rules when I go gambling (which is a very rare thing these days) but it is so addictive! Always ALWAYS quit while you’re ahead and never gamble everything. If you win, keep most of it then only gamble a little if you must but stick to your own rules or stay out of the casinos, the horse races, the football games, etc. I watch this movie and think of how easily it could’ve been me. Stellar performance by Valerie Bertinelli! Excellent film. Thank you for sharing it here. 👏
Valerie Bertinelli played her role with maturity showing her place as a role model for young women. I wish I had seen this earlier I may have been more wiser or empathetic. Congrats to the writers.

Very good tv movie and ahead of its time as far as bringing awareness to gambling addiction. Valerie was so beautiful and terrific in this movie. Very well done!
This is a subject that is definitely not talked about as much as it should be! It affects millions of people-many seniors are broke because of gambling addiction and they don’t have the time to right their mistakes
My early '80s crush Valerie Bertinelli was very good in this dramatic role. Her acting skills are typically overlooked because of her great looks and gorgeous hair but she's genuine in all of her roles that I've seen so far.
Yes, I like to watch films BEFORE when (in just about every scene), the actress or actor is walking around with a cellphone in their hands or glued to their ears. I like films pre- cell phone days. Movies in the 90's and before.
@@AdityaSharma-ws6yp ~ Yep, I could count on one hand how many movies post 2000 that I've properly enjoyed. Ppl just accept the rubbish that's churned out these days...
This is a very good example of good acting can make a huge difference ! If not for her fabulous acting ,I would had quit watching in a half way ...! She's a real talented actress ! She's always so good !! 👍👍💜🥁🐉🎤💞
I love Valerie Bertinelli she is such a great actress. She's so stunningly beautiful and has great legs. I didn't even know this movie existed, it's my first time seeing it. I always enjoyed watching Valerie on "One Day At A Time" when she played as Barbera Royer. She was such a load of laughs and was so entertaining.
A very good movie about the perils of gambling: You never win, and it would cost you everything, not just money but also your relationships, your dignity and your mental health.
I used to go to casinos with my ex,all the time, and never gambled..he asked me for $5 and gave it back right away...I would just sit there ,at the bar, enjoy my drink, chit-chat with people, smoke my cigar and just chill..I dont like to gamble ,but I sure do enjoy the atmosphere, for some reason..as an empath ,a highly sensitive individual and an introvert by nature ,that's a very surprising fact about me..from time to time, I like to be an extrovert and just let loose, so to speak. 😏
Mom and I used to go to Niagara every few weeks. We had a limit of 2 hundred but we usually always went over. Most of the time I lost but I do remember being on a machine that was broken. Every time I pushed the button I had the coins coming out. I just kept playing and had someone help me carry the containers of coins up. I was lucky that nite but hardly made up for the times I lost.
The heavyweight 'Eastern Assassin' at 16:33. I spent over 30 years looking for this film after hearing about it in a Van Halen book when I was a kid! Many thanks for posting.
@@sandib4234 When I was 20 or so ,I used to think she was so hot !! Lol. From a point of a girl ,too ! I had forgotten how natural actress she was til a couple of years ago ! She is real good ! 👍 Thank you so much for your reply.💜🥁🐉🎤🎶💞
Gambling and all other tough-drug or alcohol addictions originate from a sad or immature perception of ourselves. Either we pity ourselves or we lead a life showing others we are indestructible. To learn about true Self-respect is what I suggest.
I spent a week at Lake Tahoe for my birthday. I brought fifty dollars with me to gamble with and won a pot full of change with my first quarter. I kept winning and then losing, and winning some more, and then losing again that same fifty dollars. At the end of the week I went home with the original pot of change. I observed many gamblers who didn't even seem to enjoy themselves, throwing what I found out were stacks of one hundred or five hundred dollar chips around and losing them without a flicker of emotion. I also saw people freaking out and crying after losing. And others who looked really messed up and nervous. The weirdest were the older people at the machines that gave out pots of change, just pulling the leavers over and over again. Not my kind of thing at all.
The movie was ended with a hope for the better future...Gina has been the victim of greediness, but did look backward for whatever mistakes she had committed... that's the strength she had👍
I worked with a woman that had a gambling addiction. She would disappear from her family for days and her family would search the local casinos for her. I heard she was really in debt.
It's not a easy task to see Valerie Bertinelli play a unlikable character, she still comes across as a victim we want to see improve. She steals, cheats on her boyfriend, gets herself in debt and I still am supporting her.
Why do you support her? What has a person have to do, lie, cheat, sleep with someone for money (too bad the casino guy was not willing to pay for her gambling debts), before one should say: enough is enough
The only gambling I've done was bet 5dollars playing one armed bandit...won 5dollars then quickly left the casino....that's it. 🤣😂 I like myself better as a good luck charm for a gambler friend. I seem to bring him luck and that's fine with me. Valerie is a fine actress, love all her movies.❤️❤️❤️
I only watched this to hear stuff I had not heard from the Late Great EVH. Jump-ish synth and fretboard pyrotechnics. Poor Eduardo...SO MANY PEOPLE MISS YOU!
It's EVERYBODY'S fault but Gina's 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣let her tell it. He put her to work like a common street walker 🤣🤣🤣🤣 "You have to pay it off Gina, you have too."
This is the problem with most women. They feel they can do ANYTHING they want with NO ACCOUNTABILITY!!! Gina's husband loved her but she wanted the good life, NOW! He even told her that. She tried to make it her husband's fault, "You're never around, I'm just a housewife. You and your friends know what you want." She's a manipulator, giving no thought to the consequences of her gambling. Moral of the story, don't gamble.
I've only gone to 2 cadinos, once my husband and i stopped by one and played the nickel slots, and the 2nd time i went with my mother. My mother gave me money to play slots, but i never won much. I do like that i got to go, though, because my mom loved to gamble, and i miss her so much.
1000% !! I've known some people who had gambling addictions ; very sad people ...I dated one, hes lost everything during his marriage and was forced to loan money from his wife's dad, who's a complete tyrant with money! Now, the guy owes the dad everything, including his freedom and dignity. From his own words " I sold the soul to the devil" 😩
Went to the Bahamas with my late ex, in the late 80s. It's all he did was gamble while I was left to find other things to do. I don't even like the scratch it rich. Most I've won ever is 20 dollars. I hate gambling. It's one of the most addictive things to get into. The thing with Casinos, like this Keith dude, he doesn't gamble bc he knows the risks. BUT, he doesn't haven't a problem with other players who lose their money. It's a racket that is very easy to get sucked up in, and maybe end up dead.
This movie is an example for the casino lover- beginners. ..Once I had a friend.She had everything,beauty, intelligence,high university education , good parents , great loving husband and a family. He was a rich and bought a lot of houses and apartments making investments for the children too. .. One day they moved to another big city buying huge apartment in the prestigious place....near the casino .. Suddenly she begun to be addicted running to the casino near home . But she was keeping this sectet with herself. Then our another friend and I understood What was going on with her troubling family ... One day her husband ( he was our childhood friend too ) was planning a dinner at home for his friends ftom another city. He asked their driver to take her to the food store. She refused from the driver saying she is able to manage it by herself and will be back soon...We were looking for her within three days ...She lost all properties there..in the casino ....All...He didn't forget her . She lost a husband,sons, respect in the city society..Since that noone wished to deal with her ..Then anyway we did everything to reunite them again as a family. He forgave her but something deeply inside troubled her . She dreamed more and more money. She didn't play anymore in the casino because no one was giving her money . Her husband has not so much money anymore . Suddenly she decided to move to another country getting a trip...Since that she has never ever came back to home..And we were told she is working in someone's family to earn money ...Her husband suddenly just recently died...My another friend told me that talking her by phone she whipped as a crazy person...She had everything but Brains........
Throughout this whole movie I kept wondering is why doesn’t she get a job like everyone else?? So what if she’s married, she can still be a strong independent woman. Don’t feel bad for her at all. The lesson here is that you are responsible for your joy and happiness🤦🏽♀️
It seems that she had lost everything when she didn't want to LISTEN to her HUSBAND. She wanted to put EVERYTHING DOWN on an Apartment before he was established, she wanted to have a baby before he was established, her father said, she has never been responsible with money, ( the PARENTS DIDN'T TEACH HER a out MONEY or MEN/PEOPLE. She made a BAD GAMBLE when she LEFT HOME IGNORANT, LEFT SCHOOL IGNORANT, GOT MARRIED IGNORANT to a man who DIDN'T TAKE HER SERIOUS). ~~ The daddy said, " UR 21, I'm done" ( and then called her husband like she was still A CHILD, [ which she was]. The daddy was "DONE" when he SENT her out into the WORLD IGNORANT and APPROVED of David who would be too BUSY to TEACH HER ABOUT LIFE.~ The daddy was SOOOO IMPRESSED that the 2B DOCTOR was in the family. ~~ WHAT A MESS !!!!!!!! The MARRIED MALE DOG kept telling her, "QUIT WHILE YOU'RE AHEAD"- she wouldn't listen, that SNAKE wanted to get and keep her under his thumbs by moving in slowly and then telling her she has to pay it back.
Disagree! Cause we don't even know the real feeling until we're in that situation. I can't make any conclusive comment especially when it comes on marriage, there are things that we usually never expect to be happened and that's suck😑
I’ve seen gamblers lose thousands of dollars a day at the horse track, not a pretty sight. Went to Gam anon a few times and listened to the heartbreak first hand, People become desperate and ruthless.☹️😞
Lisa Anthony, I turned on cold closed captions and thought it was from a different movie until I started reading them closely. No it's mostly this movie kind of messed up but also about 3 minutes behind.😂
Lol watching this while playing my online casino game where I use real money for fake money,haha at least hubby not only knows but pays for my fake chips plus it makes me happy and keeps me out of the real casinos 🥴😅🤣 Superb acting as always from Valerie 👌
As soon as I win even a little bit of money, I stop immediately. I don’t like giving my money away.. it makes me angry to lose. She lost $10,000 !! What?! Gambling is such a waste of money.. and so depressing .. she is now gambling on someone else’s account !? Then, sleeping with him? Oh my, she is in over her head
that is why I don’t wanna start gambling because I know myself I get addicted easily, but I still wanna try I just don’t have the courage to gamble my only money hehehe
2 Peter 3:9 - The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Starting with frame # 47:02 - check out the shut line on the passenger's side of the hood. Looks like this car has been wrecked. It's even more evident with frame # 47:03. The hood on mine is flush; you don't even see the gap from afar... These Mustangs are so basic they are a snap to restore. With all of the aftermarket parts and NOS parts they can be restored without spending an arm and a leg.
It’s probably worse than drug addiction...I can feel saddest desperation environment in casinos , just around slots alone. I’ve heard people losing homes destroyed family over gambling.
Oh how i wish they made quality movies llike this today.The acting is real ,the storyline believable ,and they just bring back memories of a better time.Thankyou for sharing.:)
Love everything about 80s films! The music, stars, and the ways these films just bring back nostalgic memories of a time growing up in this decade.
Makes me wish time travel existed. I’d go take a vacation in the 1980s.
Just music
My thoughts EXACTLY love everything abt the 80s music films etc❤
Agreed today the hv of lack of imagination. That why they take old movie to make it a new generation but tham it not the same

Excellent acting by Valerie.
The real question here is how bad did Valerie's feet hurt when filming this movie?

And I'm glad I watched this movie , it really makes you think
A tragic story but a believable one. Great movie!

First scene, 3-inch heels walking several blocks...I miss those days...and heels 👠...
It's pretty funny how many of us wore those crazy heels and pantyhose back then. I bought a crazy high pair when I was 15.
Perhaps she's wearing Easy Spirit shoes: "Looks like a pump, feels like a sneaker." 🤣
OMG, this is just horrifying to watch. It’s a well done movie, but stressful to see such an awful addiction.
When she showed up in that black one shoulder dress, I thought she was wearing that nightgown!!
She always does good one, of my fav actresses

Interesting movie- also sad how no one really made space for this woman to be a whole person or show her much empathy.
They should've been more empathetic towards her but she was materialistic, cheating, self-centered, and a gambling addict.
This is the problem with most women.
They feel they can do ANYTHING they want with NO ACCOUNTABILITY!!!
Gina's husband loved her but she wanted the good life, NOW! He even told her that. She tried to make it her husband's fault, "You're never around, I'm just a housewife. You and your friends know what you want."

What kind of physician wife would she make....he will be even busier. She should have been planning her own future as well.
@willaknotts1298 Remember, he told her before they married to stay in LA while he finished his schooling but she wanted to be married NOW.
Once she started cashing in her trust fund to finance her gambling,it was only a matter of time she would loose every thing.
There's a good one with Delta Burke plays a gambler and loses everything embezzled money from her job and goes to prison!
@@marydavis7978 It's "Going for Broke" and it's on TH-cam as well
It seems that she had lost everything when she didn't want to LISTEN to her HUSBAND. She wanted to put EVERYTHING DOWN on an Apartment before he was established, she wanted to have a baby before he was established, her father said, she has never been responsible with money, ( the PARENTS DIDN'T TEACH HER a out MONEY or MEN/PEOPLE. She made a BAD GAMBLE when she LEFT HOME IGNORANT, LEFT SCHOOL IGNORANT, GOT MARRIED IGNORANT to a man who DIDN'T TAKE HER SERIOUS). ~~ The daddy said, " UR 21, I'm done" ( and then called her husband like she was still A CHILD, [ which she was]. The daddy was "DONE" when he SENT her out into the WORLD IGNORANT and APPROVED of David who would be too BUSY to TEACH HER ABOUT LIFE.~ The daddy was SOOOO IMPRESSED that the 2B DOCTOR was in the family. ~~ WHAT A MESS !!!!!!!! The MARRIED MALE DOG kept telling her, "QUIT WHILE YOU'RE AHEAD"- she wouldn't listen, that SNAKE wanted to get and keep her under his thumbs by moving in slowly and then telling her she has to pay it back.
Lose everything.. not loose everything. LOL
@@marydavis7978 I thought it was even better!
I really did enjoy this film, thank you ........
If I had a car, money in a trust,and a husband I sure wouldn't gamble
Agree. I’ve never had anything good. I’d keep it
Disagree! Cause we don't even know the real feeling until we're in that situation. I can't make any conclusive comment especially when it comes on marriage, there are things that we usually never expect to be happened and that's suck😑
You really don't know what you'd do in her situation...
You shouldn't gamble even you didn't have any of those.
@Miss Vlad , wait a minute , I think I saw your comments on many other movies
I’ve seen gamblers lose thousands of dollars a day at the horse track, not a pretty sight.
Went to Gam anon a few times and listened to the heartbreak first hand,
People become desperate and ruthless.☹️😞
Good movie great acting
Thank you
I never understood why people gamble or used drugs. Drugs will kill you. Gambling will destroy your life.
You’re right, the marijuana overdoses have been so high this year.
how did she walk all those neighborhoods and hilly streets in those heels,wow lol.
I always thought she was very attractive and still is today. 🤗🥰🤩🤩
Shes a real life baby-face doll 😍
Good movie. Gambling is a fools game and sadly for some a addiction.
Great movie I luv Valerie B.
Love Valerie Bertanelli
Gambling is just like a drug
at times you can understand the addiction of drugs and alcohol but gambling i ask myself how can it get in to an addiction
@@nadiabonnici7788 chasing the win….just like booze and drugs is chasing the high…
It's in the class of addictions
Thank you love bug for the MOVIE! 🦋
Hi there greetings from Australia 🇦🇺 John
Hiya!
RIP Eddie!!
Poor Val
Thanks for the subtitles in english...as this language is not my native language...it's much more easier for me to understand the dialogues...
Lisa Anthony, I turned on cold closed captions and thought it was from a different movie until I started reading them closely. No it's mostly this movie kind of messed up but also about 3 minutes behind.😂
This Movie is constructively education. Valerie is lovely. But the subtitles are far, far behind the scenes.
If hollywood had more Valerie's..if only!
Lol watching this while playing my online casino game where I use real money for fake money,haha at least hubby not only knows but pays for my fake chips plus it makes me happy and keeps me out of the real casinos 🥴😅🤣
Superb acting as always from Valerie 👌
Yes,she is so~ natural always !! We don't get to see that quality often .💜🥁🐉🎤💞
Valerie love the show and the shoes.
As soon as I win even a little bit of money, I stop immediately. I don’t like giving my money away.. it makes me angry to lose. She lost $10,000 !! What?! Gambling is such a waste of money.. and so depressing .. she is now gambling on someone else’s account !? Then, sleeping with him? Oh my, she is in over her head
Good movie 🎥
that is why I don’t wanna start gambling because I know myself I get addicted easily, but I still wanna try I just don’t have the courage to gamble my only money hehehe
Gina is a spoiled, whiny princess while her husband is working so hard.
She had an addiction. Where is your compassion? No different from a drug addict or an alcoholic.
2 Peter 3:9 - The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Starting with frame # 47:02 - check out the shut line on the passenger's side of the hood. Looks like this car has been wrecked. It's even more evident with frame # 47:03. The hood on mine is flush; you don't even see the gap from afar...
These Mustangs are so basic they are a snap to restore. With all of the aftermarket parts and NOS parts they can be restored without spending an arm and a leg.
I cant stand to see somebody gamble everything away
It’s probably worse than drug addiction...I can feel saddest desperation environment in casinos , just around slots alone. I’ve heard people losing homes destroyed family over gambling.
@@thuandao4243 yes it is lts is a terrible sickness thanks for your feedback
Oooh unexpected.
Loved it. Comments are full of spoilers.
