About The Monte Carlo Story
Stylish, sophisticated and absolutely broke, Dino and Maria pursue a romance until they realize neither of them has any money, which forces the gold diggers to turn their attention to a wealthy widower and his daughter. A compulsive gambler who owes several anxious investors a small fortune, Dino has trouble cutting his losses, no matter how bad the losing streak.
Directed by Samuel A. Taylor, Giulio Macchi, The Monte Carlo Story leans on a strong ensemble — Marlene Dietrich, Vittorio De Sica, Arthur O'Connell — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1956.
