Trivia The plot is loosely based on the life of Fyodor Dostoyevsky, author of "Crime and Punishment". He had promised to complete a new novel by a certain date, but one month before the deadline he hadn't written anything. After a recommendation, he hired a stenographer named Anna, who helped him complete "The Gambler" in 26 days.

The plot of "The Gambler", which is based off of one of the author's own experiences, is about a tutor named Alexei who falls in love with Polina, who toys with him.

Dostoyevsky and Anna fell in love during the writing process. They later married and had four children. Goofs When Alex is dictating on the couch and falls asleep, his hand moves between shots from being on his side to being in his lap. Quotes Emma Dinsmore : There are some things that are nothing more than what they are, they're not meant to last. User reviews Review. Top review. A saccharine romance based on Dostoyevsky.

No, Alex and Emma is not based on a Dostoyevsky story--it's based on an event in Dostoyevsky's life When he was 46, he married his year-old stenographer whom he had hired while working on "The Gambler"--hastily written to fulfill a contractual obligation in order to pay off gambling debts.

The stenographer was the calming influence in his life after a wild, doomed love affair with a woman who didn't mind spending his money but who refused to marry him.

I saw this story previously in the Russian film, "Sixty Days" Hollywood just has to speed up the clock. This played at a film festival, is awaiting five votes on IMDb, and will probably never be available again for viewing. But it was the better of the two movies. Details Edit.
