The Gentleman’s Wager: How to win a yacht with a dance

It’s a balmy afternoon, somewhere in the vast expanse of the Caribbean. Actors Jude Law and Giancarlo Giannini are relaxing on the deck of a 1928 Baglietto yacht, enjoying a bottle of whisky together. But the peace is deceptive…

Why? Well, the graceful sailing boat named Sincerity belongs to Giannini, and Law wants to purchase it – not with money, but through the medium of dance. This stylish short film entitled ‘The Gentleman’s Wager’ was directed by Jake Scott (son of legendary director Ridley), who was collaboratively commissioned by Johnnie Walker Blue Label and fashion website Mr Porter. How does the whisky-influenced deal play out? We’ll let you find out for yourself…

Smooth sailing...?
