About The Casino
A handsome stranger strolls into a casino one evening and all but cleans out the house, beating 160-1 odds at dice by getting three of a kind. He informs beautiful proprietress Miss Cui that he actually came there for her and reveals himself as her betrothed, Luo Tianguang. The couple wed, but their bliss is interrupted when Luo agrees to help old friend Lun Liu defeat crooked gambler Hao Lishan, who uses rigged dice.
Directed by Chang Tseng-Chai, The Casino leans on a strong ensemble — Lily Ho, Elliot Ngok Wah, Chin Feng — 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 1972.
