Description
High-rolling gambler Harold Benson (Rip Torn, Men in Black) is on a winning streak thanks to “jinxed” blackjack dealer Willie Brodax (Ken Wahl, The Wanderers) – Harold just can’t loose when he’s playing at Willie’s table. The only way for Willie to break his streak of bad luck, as suggested by casino manager Milt (Val Avery, Black Caesar), is to take something prized from Harold. Enter Harold’s mistress, lounge singer Bonita Friml (Bette Midler, The Rose), a prize in the eyes of Willie, in the romantic comedy Jinxed.
Jinxed is directed by Don Siegel (Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Dirty Harry) from a screenplay by Bert Blessing and David Newman based on a story by Blessing.
