GAMBLING CITY (1974)

Hidden within the nightclubs of Milan are private casinos that offer illegal gambling to the highest bidders. Into this world comes Luca Altieri, the fastest card shark in town. Now, he’s caught the eye of "The President", the underworld’s most powerful figure, and he’s no longer working alone. What’s worse, Luca’s fallen in love with Maria Luisa, the gorgeous girlfriend of the President’s power-mad and insanely jealous son, Corrado. Can Luca make off with the girl and his winnings without getting killed? Even a betting man like Luca has to admit that the cards are stacked against him this time.

Directed by Sergio Martino.

Sort of an Italian version of THE STING.

A favorite of mine from the Italian Crime genre.
