Plot: Ian Bertram (Robert Lindsay) is a mathematical genius who works as an accountant for a multinational firm based in England. When he meets Cary Porter (Molly Ringwald), who recently started working for the same company, Ian immediately falls in love and quickly proposes marriage. Cary accepts, and they plan a modest wedding, but when Ian's accounting skills earn him the admiration of company head Herbert Dreuther (John Geilgud), Herbert offers to pay for a honeymoon in Monte Carlo and give them a ride back on his yacht. But while Mr. Dreuther means well, he has problems with his memory, and once Ian and Cary get to Monte Carlo, Herbert has forgotten all about them. Stuck at the hotel with a large bill that he can't afford, Ian works out a plan to win at roulette; his scheme works, and he earns enough to pay their bill, get them home, and have plenty left over. But his sudden success at the gambling tables makes Ian drunk with power, and Cary discovers that her new husband has turned into a power-hungry tyrant. Strike It Rich was adapted from the novel {~Loser Takes All} by Graham Greene; it has been shown under the novel's title, as well as under the title Money Talks. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

For those of us romantics at heart, this is a wonderful short, sweet, and funny romantic comedy to watch on a rainy day- or any day for that matter. Molly Ringwald gives a fine performance. However, I fell in love with Robert Lindsay's character and became an instant fan of his after this performance. This story makes you believe that "love-at-first-sight" is possible, and that "with money or love, you've got to gamble to strike it rich". You'll walk away from the story believing that being "lucky" in love is the "richest" reward.
