Strike It Rich is a 1990 romantic comedy film directed by James Scott, who also adapted the screenplay based on the 1955 novella Loser Takes All by Graham Greene, and starring Robert Lindsay, Molly Ringwald, John Gielgud and Simon de la Brosse.

Production

The film was a co-production between Miramax Films and UK based Flamingo Pictures, in conjunction with British Screen, the BBC and Ideal Communications. It was originally called Loser Takes All after the novella. It filmed for eight weeks in France and England.

Ringwald wrote in The New Yorker that the film was partly rewritten (and later recut and retitled) at the behest of Harvey Weinstein after she had signed on to it, and that she felt that she and Lindsay "were essentially asked to turn our backs on [Scott] and film scenes that were not what we had agreed to"; she also alleges that she was eventually forced to sue Weinstein for her promised share of the gross.

It marks the final film appearances of Patrick Holt and Marius Goring.

The film was initially due to be released in spring 1989.
