Finally available on Blu-ray, Director Louis Malle's "Atlantic City" is a unique romantic thriller you won't forget. The people and the story are magnetic; the background is the city of dreams that almost came true. After Atlantic City is revitalized as a gambling resort destination, the new industry also brings unsettling changes. For Lou (Burt Lancaster), 40 years a bodyguard-boyfriend to aging beauty queen Grace (Kate Reid), his numbers-running sideline escalates to mob involvement. A drug-related slaying leaves him with a small fortune, a new car and a new girl, Sally (Susan Sarandon), who is the perfect completion of his fantasy.
