'Loser Takes All' is a classic story of wealth and revenge at the cost of love. Mr. Bertram's ambition often gets in the way of his partners' romantic philosophy, a lesson he finally learns in the gamble to win back Cary's heart. A film based on the novella was made in 1956, starring Rossano Brazzi and Glynis Johns. A remake starring Robert Lindsay and Molly Ringwald was shot in 1990 and directed by James Scott.
