Not sure if they filmed that craps scene at Caesars Palace or not.
Sure looks like it but I guess this film was shot in Paris.
Taylor insisted so she could be close to Richard Burton.
Sinatra was supposed to play the lead but had a conflict of interest.
They made a good copy if it was faked.
Maybe they faked the scene with James Caan too.
I'd prefer my version that they filmed both movies in Vegas.
As usual, things are better in my mind.
On a personal note, I have had that experience of looking for where all the money is hidden like Warren Beatty in that scene.
Its kind of like how Eddie Felson tells Charlie... Boy, you better give me that money... in the Hustler.
I've never just floated money down a drain but I have given homeless people large sums of cash after some tilted session that went sideways.
I've never been one who would run to the hock shop like in this movie but that pal I was talking about has many, many times lol.
Somehow he always got whatever he pawned out of the shop.
Mind Boggling actually how many times he could make something out of nothing.
And that scene where he runs his case 100 up to the moon is real.
I've seen it happen many times.
Damn, those days were fun but gone forever.
EDIT:
According to IMDB they did film on location at Caesars Palace.
They also filmed in Paris and LA.
