The Big Boodle - 1957 - 6/10

Ned, Havana blackjack dealer, is passed a fistful of counterfeit bills.
Next, everyone is after his hide: Cuban police, criminals, T-men, the original counterfeiters. Ladies.
Yes, there are females. This is an Errol Flynn vehicle. No longer a star, he still exudes grace and charm.
Noirish story moves along. Local cast is fine, Flynn solid as the borderline soul.
Real attraction here is the Batista era Cuba. Paradise for the rich.
Time capsule of a place that would shatter within a year.
