*ROULETTE
Originating in 1744, the French word roue means "a wheel." A roulette, of course, is "a little wheel." And all those who have played the game of chance of the same name are well aware that it is a little wheel that governs the destinies of the players.
Gambling is featured in the comedy, The Honey Machine (1961) starring Steve McQueen, Jim Hutton, and Paula Prentiss, pictured above.
*Inspired
by Charles Funk (1881–1957)
