Wine, Women and Horses

Bumming and betting his way through the Midwest, itinerant gambler Jim Turner (Barton MacLane) thought he was ready to settle down when he fell hard for lovely landlady Marjorie Mayhew (Peggy Bates). Will he listen to her entreaties to make an honest living, or will the lure of fast action prove to be too much? (What odds do you want to give?) Earnest adaptation of W.R. Burnett’s "Dark Hazard" also stars Ann Sheridan, Dick Purcell, Walter Cassel, Kenneth Harlan. 64 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono.
