| Summary |
In this **Oscar**-nominated romantic thriller, Atlantic City has been revitalized with the legalization of gambling. But the new industry also brings unsettling changes for its citizens. One of these citizens is Lou (Burt Lancaster), a longtime mob flunkey and bodyguard/boyfriend to aging beauty queen Grace (Kate Reid). Lou's romantic interests begin to waver when he meets Sally (Susan Sarandon), a young casino croupier, after she unwillingly gets herself tangled in a mafia drug heist. Nominated for Best Picture, Best Actor (Burt Lancaster), Best Actress (Susan Sarandon), Best Director, and Best Original Screenplay at the **Academy Awards**. Nominated for Best Foreign Film, Best Director, and Best Actor (Burt Lancaster) at the **Golden Globes**. Winner of the Golden Lion at the **Venice Film Festival**. *"ATLANTIC CITY is a sophisticated fairy tale, beautifully acted and beautiful to behold; it is as funny as it is touching." - Kevin Thomas, **The Los Angeles Times*** |
