The Winner (film)

The Winner (film)

"The Winner" is a 1996 film, directed by Alex Cox. Most noted for its quirky cast (Michael Madsen, Vincent D'Onofrio, Frank Whaley, and Billy Bob Thornton, among others) and fine art department: the designer was Cecilia Montiel, who went on to design the movies of Robert Rodriguez and Antonio Banderas' "Zorro" films.

The film was substantially re-edited by the executive producers, Marc Damon and Rebecca De Mornay, and the original score - by Cox's longtime collaborators Pray for Rain - replaced by a jazz score. Cox requested that his name be removed from the credits, so "The Winner" is now regarded as an Alan Smithee film.

The screenplay - by Wendy Riss - resembles another low-budget Vegas movie, "Destiny Turns on the Radio".
