A professional gambler is abducted and held against his will in a mansion owned by a man who likes to coerce fellow gamblers into a deadly card game which results in his opponent's deaths.
This is an episode of a TV series called 'Thriller' - a show I have never seen - which I gather is a series of self-standing episodes featuring suspenseful storylines. This one had a pretty good set-up and central idea, although I did feel the ending could have been thought out a bit better. But undoubtably the best thing about this, is the presence of Ingrid Pitt. Her screen presence and charisma is in abundance here and she easily steals the show from every other player. It makes you wonder why on earth she wasn't a massive movie star back in the day, as opposed to a cult heroine. Whatever the case, if you are a fan of hers, then I would certainly advise checking this out.
