However, _Casino_ is simply over the top at being over the top.
So I am sucker for the comedy epic/ celebrity ensemble. I should confess that as a young kid I did love the film, just as I loved _What's new Pussycat_, and when I got a little older I became a guilty admirer of _The Blues Brothers_ and _1941_. Occasional fun for the 60's lover, but completely incoherent as entertainment.
