While my summary might sound a bit flippant, it IS essentially the story and this all gets tiresome after a while. Not terrible...the film has its moments, but it suffers from a silly cliché-ridden script. Not one of Power's finer endeavors.

He also said thecase now pending in federal courtis nothing more than a "money grab" by federal authorities, noting that his father and uncle havebeen down this road before. Kipling’s famous words resonate with compulsive gamblers. The idea of courage, daring, grit and nerve brings a quite undeserved gloss to gambling that addicts grasp on to, regardless of the fact that most are destined to end up despairing, distraught and perhaps contemplating suicide. Gamblers always believe that they are special. What Is the Mindset of a Compulsive Gambler? I’ve run rather well today, with only the last game I played resulting in a no bonus. More details to follow…John McIntire is the veteran riverboat gambler with a dream - to open an honest gambling house, with a partner, on the bank of the Mississippi River... There is 1 prize to be won, the value of which is dependant upon the identity of the winning team at the Qatar World Cup 2022. To be determined via the following criteria. Tyrone Power isn't my favorite actor, and I find many of his films dull. However, this one is OK, although he can look menacing when he scowls, at this age. Most substance abusers or other behavioural addiction sufferers do not have this struggle with unreality – they may have plenty of denial about their actual addiction and its consequences, but they do not tend to idealise or romanticise their behaviour and its potential for rewards (especially financial) the way that gamblers do. While I am a fan of Tyrone Power's film, I gotta admit that this is not one of his finer moments. The story is about a very, very successful riverboat gambler, Mark Fallon (Power) and the weird infatuation he has with a very screwy young lady (Piper Laurie). Throughout the course of the film, the lady's brother is a shiftless jerk--gambling away their money and behaving VERY impulsively. He also seems to blame Fallon for everything and tries to kill him a couple times. As for Fallon, he's practically perfect in every way and repeatedly lets the bother off the hook for his own awful behavior. Ultimately, however, the jerk brother tries (again) to murder Fallon and Fallon kills him while trying to protect himself...and the stupid sister STILL acts like Fallon is the Antichrist! As for the father of the two dopes, he knows what's going on and likes Fallon. Can all this get straightened out by the end of the film AND can anyone tell me why Fallon wants to marry this flaky lady? Sure, she's gorgeous but the guy could easily find another lady who apparently isn't totally stupid.

A joyous technicolor is the symbol of what dear old classic movies mean for us: entertainment, relax, simple but beautiful stories, nice and talented actors, great cinematography and costumes, accurate direction, and, of course, a due happy ending. "The Mississippi gambler" is a perfect instance of what I've just said. As with many addictions, problem gamblers tend to remain emotionally immature. They may see themselves as James Bond or some other romantic ‘gentleman gambler’ who is by definition, a mature and super-capable role model, but that is hopelessly inaccurate. They are in reality, like four-year-olds rushing to enjoy the Bouncy Castle where endless bursts of excitement await in the land of make-believe, slaves to instant gratification and fantasy. The Role of Denial in Gambling Addiction Ty with partner John McIntire set out to and succeed in owning a gambling palace where honest games of chance are the rule. They don't need to cheat because they're both the best at their trade.

It is not betting that’s the problem, it’s our attitude towards betting and the way some of us respond compulsively. A Mug’s Game Villain of the piece is John Baer, Laurie's weakwilled and spoiled brother. He becomes a truly hateful person in this film, the kind audiences love to hiss. Piper Laurie, as Leia, isn't exactly a pleasant character. If I were Mark, I would have chosen the non-aristocratic Ann(Julie Adams)over her. Apparently, Mark preferred aristocratic breeding over personality and usefulness.

The other is this:Joe Vito is the son-in-law of the late Frank L. Rizzo, the former mayor and the former police commissioner of Philadelphia. His wife, Joanna, is Rizzo's only daughter. His son, Joseph F. Mastronardo, 31, is Rizzo's only grandchild. Those close to the family say that assessment is inaccurate. More important, they say,it has nothing to do with the allegations they are fighting. Mark Fallon (Power) is an ace and honest card player who earns his crust gambling on the river boats.
