Review of Atlantic City (1944) by Laura H — 16 Jul 2012
A beautifully constructed movie which perfectly marries the genres of drugs thriller and quirky love story. Burt Lancaster is superb as Lou, an aged old man looking back on the days of the gangsters of legend such as Al Capone with rose tinted goggles.
Susan Sarandon is also wonderful as Sally, the casino croupier who dreams of a life in Monaco and whose life is interrupted by the unexpected arrival of her estranged husband and her pregnant sister. A tender tale which doesn't let up from beginning to end.
