The Gambler Who Wouldn't Die (Italian: Ti ho cercata in tutti i necrologi, lit. "I've been looking for you in all the obituaries") is an English/Italian dramatic film directed by Giancarlo Giannini.

Nikita, a man who despises his own life, is offered as quarry to experienced hunters. His struggle for survival leads him to understand the true value of life, survival and redemption. While he is hunted, he knows and loves the elusive Helena.

Plot[]

Nikita is an Italian taxi driver who runs over a footballer in an accident and is forced to emigrate to Canada and make a new life. He finds work as a driver for a company of undertakers. One evening, he plays poker in a remote villa outside Toronto. To pay off his gambling debt, a manhunt is proposed: with guns in hand, his creditors will have 20 minutes to hunt him down and kill him. If he survives, Nikita will be considered to have paid his debt.

Giannini has said that the idea for the film arose by chance at a dinner, when he was told about such manhunts taking place in Africa.^{[citation needed]}
