Lay the Favourite

Rebecca Hall, Bruce Willis and Catherine Zeta-Jones star in this high-roller comedy following a Las Vegas cocktail waitress who becomes the lucky charm of a professional sports gambler, much to his wife's disdain. Based on Beth Raymer's memoir and directed by Stephen Frears (The Queen, High Fidelity).

Beth (Hall) leaves behind her life as a stripper in Florida and heads to Las Vegas to realize her dream: being a waitress in a glitzy casino. When those career goals don't pan out, she falls in with Dink (Willis), a kind gambler. Beth wins Dink's admiration when she shows herself to be something of a gambling prodigy, but she also earns the ire of Dink's wife (Zeta-Jones) when her relationship with her boss seems to extend beyond the professional.
