There is a very good gambling movie on soon tonight on Turner Classic Movie channel: "Mr. Lucky" (1943), starring Cary Grant and Laraine Day. The stars are good, especially Grant. A lot of talk about gambling, gambling boat, humor, romance, soap opera end. Very satisfying movie. Maybe tape it on your VCR. In New York it is on at 1:30 AM Thursday.
