Gambit is a delightful caper film, entertainingly styled by cinematographer-turned-director Ronald_Neame. It features fine lead performances from Michael_Caine and Shirley MacLaine, and a similarly strong supporting performance from Herbert_Lom, the ostensible victim of their crime. The clever story mixes a fun, lightweight attitude with an intricate series of twists, helping it work as both a mystery and a comedy. The material owes a great debt to the Cary_Grant-Audrey_Hepburn 1963 comedy/thriller Charade, though both films imitate the 1954 Jules_Dassin classic Rififi. Nonetheless, Gambit stands up well, with fine production design, gorgeous costumes, and handsome cinematography from the reliable Clifford_Stine. Richard Gilliam, Rovi
