Additional InformationDavid Mamet's directorial debut finds him exploring his abiding interest in deception and inviting his audience to be prepared for endless twists and turns. The film is a character study of Dr. Margaret Ford (Lindsay Crouse), a psychiatrist and best-selling author specializing in addictive behaviour. During a therapy session, she discovers that a patient owes a $25,000 gambling debt. When she becomes involved on her patient's behalf, she enters an underworld populated with fascinating characters. Dr. Ford is both strong and vulnerable, and Crouse exploits this ambiguity in a powerful central performance. Joe Mantegna is also a presence as underworld denizen Mike. The strong overall acting and well-crafted plot pleased critics and proved to be at the heart of Mamet's future filmmaking successes.

  • Late 80s Mamet

    This used copy was in pretty good nick and worked fine. I already knew the film - either you like David Mamet films or you don't. Like many films, they're really a product of their time(e.g. weird clothes/haircuts/dialogue, everyone smokes) and to some the dialogue may seem forced/affected in places but that's Mamet! It seemed pretty damn good back then when this "wheels within wheels" genre was much more unusual.
