OK I will break my self imposed silence, because "you made me look" after that I go back to lurking...

Shot in 1980 (unfortunatly it recovered <G>) rated as a Bomb, it was released in 1982.

Hal Ashby, Jon Voight, Burt Young, Ann-Margret, Bert Remsen, Jude Farese, Allen Keller, Richard Bradford.

"Voight coscripted, coproduced, and tries out his Al Pacino impression in thisembarrassing, implausible comedy, about two losers who con their way into a suite at MGM Grand with a plan to win big at blackjack." (note: the game is 21 not Blackjack...) "Remsen's performance as a wily old card shark is the only bright spot in this utter catastrophe." [R]

I hope this solves the riddle with the simple, and accurate, facts.
