Description
On a honeymoon in Monte Carlo, a middle-aged accountant named Mr. Bertram arrives with hopes of happiness—only to find that luck at the gaming tables quickly turns his private life into a public test. As his gambling successes mount, he is forced to confront a choice between devotion and desire, between the security of money and the fragile promises of love. Guided by the pressures of class, respectability, and temptation, Bertram’s story unfolds as a tense, morally charged descent where every win carries a cost. With Graham Greene’s characteristic clarity and psychological sharpness, this is a compact drama about risk, self-deception, and what it really means to “take all” when the stakes are human.
