Moral preaching against gambling dens and boxing stock footage. What more could you want? How about a movie worth watching. You won't

Gambling with Souls is an exploitation film that hides behind the guise of being an anti-gambling film. Still, it's hard for a film to claim that showing a curvaceous woman in her bra and panties spread out over a couch is for teaching impressionable film-goers a lesson.

The film is about Mae Miller, a young woman who is put down by her friends for wearing the same dress again. Mae's friend Molly introduces her to a gambling den where Mae wins like crazy. Of course her winning streak is anything but on the level and she soon finds herself losing more and more money until she is $10,000 in the red. Of course as often happens in films like this Mae is lead further astray until she is a full blown prostitute.

Remember folks, wanting nice dresses leads to gambling with leads to nightclub life which leads to prostitution, bankruptcy, scandal and jail. One of us is going to jail and it's not going to be me! *Ahem* Yeah, avoid this movie. It's such a shame that this film still exists and all but a handful of Theda Bara's films are gone forever.

In short, a waste of your time and mine.

This film was part of a collection I partially reviewed a while back.
