Fluffy, fanciful tale with gambling theme, written by Lynn Root and Frank Fenton from Herbert Clyde Lewis story.
Who is Barbara Hale? Well, we just saw her in The Window, and was in Airport and Perry Mason a LOT. And Robert Young (Sitting Pretty, Secret Agent).
Good showdown between old pros Frank Morgan and James Gleason. With Don Rice, the irresistible Harry Davenport (here aged 80) and Lloyd Corrigan as the comedy relief. And uncredited Myrna Dell as blonde at bar (Bs and TVs).
Undistinguished RKO effort in camera or music departments, passes time easily enough.
Gleason, here a mere 64, was in Night of the Hunter, Arsenic and Old Lace, The Bishop's Wife, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, Tales of Manhattan, a couple of The Falcon films, Meet John Doe.
