Ace

Ace (Asso, 1981) is a breezy Italian comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Directed by Franco Castellano and Giuseppe Moccia, it stars Adriano Celentano as the best card-shark in town — a man who swears off gambling on his own wedding night and promptly breaks his word.

One last game. One massive win. Somewhere across town, a sore loser puts out a contract, and Ace ends up dead before the night is over. Heaven, it turns out, has a soft spot for gamblers: he comes back as a ghost with a single assignment — find a decent husband for his young widow, played by Edwige Fenech. The problem is she seems incapable of falling for anyone who isn't exactly as reckless as Ace himself.

Celentano at his most irresistible: cocky, light-footed, impossible to dislike. Stream Ace (1981) online on iFILM.
