Affair in Monte Carlo ~ 1952 -BW

QUICKIE: Bored socialite falls for wealthier gambler whom she saves from suicide.

PLOT: (from IMDB) Writer Robert Sterling is visiting a café, when suddenly a scandal becomes known. To keep the others from overreacting, Sterling tells them about something similar that he saw happen years ago. He had been in Monte Carlo, and was playing host to a young widow whom he knew well. When he persuaded her to visit the casino one night, she became irresistibly attracted to a desperate young man who became suicidal after losing all his money at roulette. Sterling describes how they fell deeply in love, and how both of them then had to face difficult decisions about the future.

SUMMARY: A group is astonished that a woman would run away with another man right before her wedding. Our hero recounts to them the story of how our heroine fell in love with a complete stranger and tried to run away with him, all within 24 hours.

Oh man! The rich are so spoiled that they irresponsibly blow all their money gambling then try to kill themselves over the situation. Like getting a job is such a foreign concept to the wealthy? So, our heroine steps in and stops the man and they fall for each other. As she's about to leave town with him he gambles again, wins, and then loses it all when she tries to stop him. Losing everything, he kills himself. But never fear! There's always a happy ending as the socialite ends up married to our narrator. And not to be missed is 2 renditions of "I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts".
