No longer on TCM, but I SPOKE into my remote and found that you can watch it anytime thru July 3 (or maybe its July 2) "free, on demand"! I started watching it now. Begins with lots of shote of old Las Vegas signs and casinos. 1952 movie.
IMDb gave this summary: "Investment broker Lloyd Rollins (Vincent Price), insisting to his wife Linda (Jane Russell) that they stop at Las Vegas on their trip from Boston, begins to gamble heavily. Linda visits the Last Chance, a casino where she used to sing, and where she meets police lieutenant Dave Andrews (Victor Mature), with whom she had a brief affair some years earlier. Insurance investigator Tom Hubler soon arrives to keep an eye on Linda's valuable necklace for his company, unaware that Rollins hocked the necklace with Clayton, owner of the Last Chance. Lt. Andrews, rebuffed by Linda, learns that Clayton has been murdered. He deduces the killer's identity and begins a deadly chase when he learns the killer has taken Linda hostage and fled into the desert. (Happy: Hoagy Carmichael)."
