"GAMBLING", a 1934 movie produced, directed and starred in by showbiz legend George M.Cohan.

It was filmed at Cohan's expense in an abandoned New York warehouse. A casino owner sets out to solve a murder . . .

You'll never be able to see this flick, tho. It was an abyssmal box office flop, and the original film has disappeared. A few copies supposedly are in the hands of collectors, but unless you know one of those guys you won't be viewing it.

seen those. i'll try to watch the rest of the movies on the list. thanks for the list

[Stumpage]

Owning Mahoney is a classic. When he's watching that college game and the guy misses those 2 free throws at the end.....I could almost feel that torture through the screen.....

[LVHerbie]

watching an old gambling movie called dark city (1950) while I type this... b- at best

[LVHerbie]

California Split (Robert Altman directed it) was another real good one IMO...
