I'm part way through the film and all I think of is that line of Marlon Brando's in Guys and Dolls
"One of these days in your travels, a guy is going to show you a brand-new deck of cards on which the seal is not yet broken. Then this guy is going to offer to bet you that he can make the jack of spades jump out of this brand-new deck of cards and squirt cider in your ear. But, son, do not accept this bet, because as sure as you stand there, you're going to wind up with an ear full of cider. "

That old guy is an excellent actor.
I thought this was very stylishly shot and edited and had an equally chi-chi soundtrack.
