The BBC ran an article today about chess in movies. Seehttp://news.bbc..co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/magazine/6924073.stm

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.

I don't know how often it happened but Lucy, Desi and the Mertz's
played once in awhile. I always wanted to arrange a KO match between
them and Dagwood, Blondie and their neighbors.
