The Dispossessed: A Novel
Shevek is born in a world created by anarchists. This world, a moon in fact, is home to a planned society in which the concept of property does not exist and…ourage selfish thought.

They eventually find themselves in a tacky casino and in a dramatic, high stakes poker match. Segal and Gould are the ultimate on screen duo with a perfect comedic volley and excellent chemistry. Additionally, this 1974 movie co…
