Are there any similar scenes of bridge in movies?

"Duke of Cumberland Hand - A purportedly rigged hand dealt the son of
George III, the King of England, resulting in the loss of a £20,000
wager. The hand was was used in the James Bond movie, "Moonraker"
against the villain Drax."



There was also an episode of M*A*S*H which featured a bridge match.
It was insulting (mildest word I can use) to anybody who knew anything
about the game - even me.
