The King of Marvin Gardens
N/A 1h 44m Drama 12 Oct, 1972In The King of Marvin Gardens, Jason Staebler, a charismatic but troubled man who sees the world as a kind of Monopoly game, lives recklessly in Atlantic City, tied to mob dealings and grand illusions of success. He draws his brother David, a cautious Philadelphia radio host, into yet another of his ambitious get-rich-quick fantasies—this time the dream of building a tropical paradise on a Pacific island. As Jason’s schemes spiral and reality tightens its grip, both brothers are pulled toward failure, and their hopes collapse, leaving real life reduced to something as distant and detached as a radio broadcast.
