— Movie of the Day: Let It Ride (1989)- A cab driver stumbles upon a hot tip on a race horse and wins big, but he can’t stop gambling.
Richard Dreyfuss is the gambler, Teri Garr is his wife; David Johansen, Jennifer Tilly and Allen Garfield are also in the movie, which is very funny. Robbie Coltrane is excellent as the teller at the betting window.
