This film addresses a potentially serious problem, gambling addiction, says absolutely nothing new about the affliction nor does it offer a solution but, against the run of play, it presents a delightful entertainment with a virtually perfect cast from romantic leads Robert Young and Barbara Hale to top drawer support from Frank Morgan, James Gleason and Harry Davenport. To the best of my knowledge Young has not been cast as a professional gambler before or since but since this is the kind of film that doesn't seek to portray real people in real situations both facing and dealing with real problems this is not as important as it might be. There are much worse ways to beguile a spare hour or so.
