Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Best for people who enjoy a knot in their stomach and anyone in the mood for a love story. Leaves you with something to think about.
The mood
Tense, warm and romantic.
The pace
Lets scenes breathe, at 50 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1918: an older pace and style.
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

While visiting Monte Carlo with her aunt, Rosalie Dean meets a young man, Maxfield Gray who is ready to kill himself because of his losses at the roulette wheel. She stops him from doing so, and lends him some money to win back what he's lost. He does, but they're only happy for a short while before Max is arrested for the murder of his ex-wife in the States.
