Why that title? Is the game in the film?


I play backgammon and don't see the game mentioned in the plot. Thanks!

reply

No, but rumor has it that Acey-Deucy is featured in the soundtrack

reply

Thank you very much. If the game had figured prominently in the plot Id have have felt compelled to see it. That's scarcely the case, I see.

reply

Yes there's a scene where they play for around a min or so, but that's all.

Well, then, I feel that I can safely miss seeing it.
Thanks very much!

Read A GAMBLER'S ANATOMY (fiction) by Jonathan Lethem-- backgammon features prominently!
