=== In media === * In ''[[All American Chump]]'' (1936) math whiz Elmer ([[Stuart Erwin]]) mentions he plays whist, and is so good that nobody in his hometown will play with him because he always wins. * In ''[[Around the World in 80 Days (1956 film)|Around the World in 80 Days]]'' (1956) [[Phileas Fogg]] ([[David Niven]]) mentions and is seen playing whist several times throughout the film. * In ''[[The Young Victoria]]'', when [[William Lamb, 2nd Viscount Melbourne|Lord Melbourne]] tries to provide advice to [[Albert, Prince Consort|Prince Albert]], the Prince tells him, "Lord Melbourne, forgive me but you seem to have confused me with a member of your club. I am not your drinking companion nor your whist partner. I am the husband of your sovereign. And as such, I will make my own decisions, and I neither seek nor invite your advice. Good evening." * In 2018's ''[[The Favourite]]'', [[Abigail Masham, Baroness Masham|Abigail Hill]] is mentioned to have become impoverished after her father lost their fortune at whist, along with various other references throughout. * In series 5 of the television show ''[[Peaky Blinders (TV series)|Peaky Blinders]]'', [[Tommy Shelby]] recalls a story of his time in [[France]] during [[the Great War]] while threatening a [[Member of Parliament (United Kingdom)|member of parliament]] who refuses to pay him in full for a hired killing. "I spent a long time waiting for the cavalry, me. One time, me and my comrades waited three days. When the cavalry finally came, an officer on the back of a fine white horse joked that he'd been delayed playing a game of whist. So, I took out my Webley revolver and I shot him in the head, stole his horse, reported him for cowardice. All for a game of chance."
