Jason Staebler lives on the Boardwalk and fronts for the local mob in Atlantic City. He is a dreamer who asks his brother David, a radio personality from Philadelphia, to help him build a paradise on a Pacific Island, which might be just another of his pie-in-the-sky schemes. Inevitably, complications begin to pile up.

Editor's Verdict

❌NO

"The movie 'The King of Marvin Gardens' is a crime drama set in Atlantic City focusing on ambition, deception, and family conflict. There is no indication in the plot summary or standard knowledge of the film that Christmas is relevant to the setting, plot, themes, or iconography."
