Strike It Rich is a 1990 romantic comedy film directed by James Scott, who also adapted the screenplay based on the 1955 novella Loser Takes All by Graham Greene, and starring Robert Lindsay, Molly Ringwald, John Gielgud and Simon de la Brosse.

The head of the company, Herbert Dreuther (played by Gielgud), offers them a wedding and to pay for a honeymoon in Monte Carlo, as well as the use of his yacht.

When it does not arrive, Ian decides he has a sound way to win at roulette in order to pay their large hotel bill.

Ringwald wrote in The New Yorker that the film was partly rewritten (and later recut and retitled) at the behest of Harvey Weinstein after she had signed on to it, and that she felt that she and Lindsay "were essentially asked to turn our backs on [Scott] and film scenes that were not what we had agreed to"; she also alleges that she was eventually forced to sue Weinstein for her promised share of the gross.

[2] Lindsay largely corroborated this story to the BBC, and asserted that he had confronted Weinstein over the script changes and lost career opportunities as a result.
