    Where to Watch

Life in Dennis O'Keefe's casino, with "Grand Hotel" characters and their problems. Mild. Coleen Gray, Charles Winninger, Thomas Gomez, Mary Beth Hughes, Dorothy Patrick, Robert Armstrong. Directed by Sidney Salkow.

O'Keefe plays the operator of a Las Vegas casino that serves as the backdrop for a potpourri of characters and situations. One incident involves hood Gomez's desperate attempts to buy the hotel, including threats on O'Keefe's life. The performances are adequate and the direction is well paced, making up for weaknesses in the script that may stem from an unrealistic view of Las Vegas life.
