Casino 1995 Trudy

Casino is quite possibly one of the greatest movies ever to be made. The movie was directed by the one and only Martin Scorsese and it is very iconic to say the least. It was released in 1995 and it tells the story of two famous mobsters who happened to be best friends.

Robert de Niro Met with Frank Rosenthal

Before the movie even started filming, Robert de Niro met up with the man who is the very foundation for his character. He visited him to try and find out more about his character and what he felt as though his acting style should be and this helped him to become much more invested in the character.

Tangiers

Not many people know this, but the Tangiers didn’t actually exist. The Tangiers casino is a matter of fiction, but the movie was actually shot in a fully operating casino. It was called the Riviera. The real casinos that were featured in the movie included the Yebo Casino in South Africa, the Venetian Macao casino in China and the Foxwoods Resort casino which is based in Connecticut. If you have visited these casinos then you will know how luxurious they are, but at the same time, you can always get the fruitiest winnings at Juicy slots.

Frank Rosenthal and the Stardust Casino

Frank Rosenthal ran the casino, Stardust. He was an executive at the casino and this was well documented in the Vegas history book. Martin Scorsese wanted to highlight this in the soundtrack. You can hear the Stardust song three different times throughout the course of the movie.

Robert De Niro had to Chain Smoke

Robert De Niro’s character in the movie was actually a chain smoker. He had to hold the cigarette at the same distance from the lit end so that he could avoid any continuity issues. His cigarettes never change in length throughout the entire movie, which is very interesting to say the least.

The Worst Scene in the Movie

According to the famous Frank Rosenthal himself, he has come out to say that the worst scene in the entire movie was him juggling. He claimed that he looked foolish and he felt as though the entire scene was a joke in general.

Claudia Haro

Claudia Haro is played by Trudy and she was the co-host, and the band leader of the Aces High. She was actually Pesci’s wife in real life. This is one of the many reasons why the two had such chemistry on screen.

Sharon Stone and her Beaded Gown

Eye eye-catching gown on the movie which is worn by Sharon Stone is actually 45 pounds in the movie. This was very heavy for her to wear but she muscled through for the role. This is an incredible feat to say the least but it does show how dedicated she was to the role and how much she wanted to make the scene work for her character.

Of course, so much has changed over the years, but one thing is for sure, and that’s that the Casino movie is always going to be a classic. The performances were fantastic and it is safe to say that the star-studded cast is always going to be looked upon as being one of the greatest in the era.
