Interesting facts

Gambling City is a 1975 Italian poliziottesco heist film directed by Sergio Martino, from a screenplay he co-wrote with Ernesto Gastaldi. It stars Luc Merenda, Enrico Maria Salerno, Dayle Haddon and Corrado Pani.

Production

According to Roberto Curti, Martino's contributions to the scrip were "just nominal". Ernesto Gastaldi stated that he "wrote the script with Enrico Maria Salerno in mind as the boss of a sharp - and not just violent - criminal organization which has succession problem when the son shows he's not cut from the same cloth as his father."

Gastaldi considers the script he wrote to be one of his best efforts, but stated that "I believe the actors were very good on this film, improving upon a story that, although not very original, was rather different from crime films of that era." Gambling City was shot at Dear Studios in Rome and on location in Milan and Nice.
