Gable is Charley Enley Kyng in this one, head honcho at a casino that he actually tries to run honestly. For the life of him, Kyng can't figure why his estranged wife, Lon (Alexis Smith), and son despise his profession of choice. But when Kyng bails his son out of prison, Lon takes the boy to see his pop's club. In the course of the evening, the heroic Kyng disarms dangerous mobsters and bets his entire fortune against a single roll of the dice. Both wife and son recognize Kyng's manly courage, giving Kyng an opening to win back his family if he plays his cards just right. The film's quick pace, Gable's performance, and Mervyn LeRoy's deft handling of the supporting characters make for a fine piece of entertainment. [More]
