COMMUNITY RATING




Formerly known as Loosely Based on a True Love Story, this is a contemporized adaptation of Dostoevski's short story "The Gambler." Wilson plays a hopelessly blocked novelist. A gambler by nature, he takes a loan from his publisher to tide him over and agrees to a bet he hopes will unlock his creative mojo: If he doesn't meet his deadline, the publisher will own everything he writes for the rest of his life. The writer is assisted by a stenographer-muse (Hudson). Paymer will star as John Shaw, a character from their novel who comes to life as a wealthy suitor to marry Marceau's character.
