 gambler, a pre-cursor to Levene's legendary Broadway performance as the "craps-shooter extraordinaire" Nathan Detroit in the 1950 original Broadway production of Guys and Dolls (1950), which ran for 1,200 performances on Broadway.

Critical reception
The film critic for the New York Times called the film "smartly paced and colorful" and "crisply directed" but thought "in deviating occasionally from the plot's general comedy lines, the film over-dramatizes some none too plausible situations with an effect which is sometimes maudlin." He noted Henry Fonda "makes an acutely sympathetic hero opposite Miss Ball's able portrayal of the singer."

Variety wrote that screenwriter Leonard Spigelgass did "a neat job of transferring the spirit of the piece to the screen, studding it with typical Runyon humor," and felt Lucille Ball "comes through with high laurels" and Henry Fonda "is at his best."

Time Out London wrote that the film "captures much of [Runyon's] low-life spirit and colorful vernacular, but occasionally spoils it all by wallowing in unnecessary sentimentality" and added "Ball, in a rare straight role, is stunning."

DVD release
Turner Home Entertainment released the film on Region 1 DVD on June 19, 2007. It has an audio track in English with subtitles in English and French. Bonus features included the animated short The Hep Cat and the musical short Calling All Girls.
