The Lady Gambles (1949)

A journalist and his wife are in Las Vegas, where he is to do a story on a dam. She tries the casinos and soon becomes addicted to gambling.

Not a satisfactory film on the gambling addiction; the explanation for her behavior is very unconvincing. The film seems to seek to entertain us with the sordid life she leads, and to a small extent succeeds.
