In the toughest spot on Earth"; "A man from nowhere ...a woman with nowhere to go... Trying to forget their pasts in exotic, exciting Macao, port of sin and shady dealings!"; about an American convicted of a crime who ends up in Macao, where he meets a beautiful woman who picks his pocket, but he romances her anyway, and tries to restore his name by catching a crime boss) starring Robert Mitchum, Jane Russell, William Bendix, Thomas Gomez, Gloria Grahame, Brad Dexter, and Philip Ahn NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this still (which measures 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm]) shows the stars in a Macao gambling casino, where they are playing sic bo, which was a version of "chuck-a-luck". This was once a major casino game in parts of the world (it has three dice that are spun in a birdcage, and you bet on what numbers come up). Over time, it was replaced by craps, a much more complicated dice game, in most of the world, although sic bo is still played in some Asian countries (and the only remnant of chuck-a-luck in other casinos is with the Big Six wheel). This still (and the many others in this auction that have this sentence on it) come from a very advanced collector who has been collecting for over 50 years and has a very high quality collection some of which he is consigning with us.
