April 28 movie: Gambling Lady. This movie had a twisty, implausible plot made enjoyable by the stars: Barbara Stanwyck and Joel McCrea. I adore both of them, and together? A treat. Stanwyck is a professional gambler who marries rich, innocent McCrea. Then there's a false murder rap and they're forced apart by a designing woman, and then, well if this were a weeper I wouldn't be smiling while I write this. Which I am. Also starred Pat O'Brien and C. Aubrey Smith, both marvelous.
