Starring eternal ladies man Warren Beatty as well as Susannah York and Clive Revill, Kaleidoscope centres around a cardsharp’s accepted mission to trap a drugs baron to avoid serving a jail term. In what he feels is a genius move he breaks into a playing card factory with the plan of marking and hence recognising them later, but all doesn’t go to plan as his girlfriends father (a Scotland Yard detective) find out about the scheme, opting to blackmail him into going along with a plan of their own.
