Gambling Ship

Ace Corbin quits the gambling rackets, boards a train east under a new name, and meets a woman with a past of her own on the boats, and neither tells. Back in California the old enemies pull him back to the gambling ship anchored off the coast, and the film ends with a fight on board. The ships were real; they sat outside the three-mile limit off Santa Monica through the thirties. Cary Grant's first top billing, and he is stiff and handsome and not yet Cary Grant, which is part of the interest. Benita Hume, Jack La Rue. Paramount, 1933.
