Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Stevens' last film, a hoarily old-fashioned romantic comedy about a Las Vegas chorus girl and a compulsive gambler who find the courage to face life in their love for each other. Based on a play and always looking the part, it has occasional moments of life injected by Taylor and Beatty. Characteristic of the general soft-centredness is the fact that the title evidently refers not to gambling or prostitution - as one might expect of the Las Vegas setting - but to marriage.Author: TM
