      Barbara Stanwyck voiced her displeasure with working with director Archie Mayo. The director was notorious for slapping, groping, and pinching the rear ends of his leading ladies. When he tried for the first (and last) time to pinch Barbara Stanwyck's bottom, she grabbed his arm and loudly told him to cut it out.
    • Goofs
      In the opening visual credits, actor Arthur Vinton's character is listed as "Fallin." However, in the film, the door of his office bears the name "Fallon Investment Co."

      Peter Madison: I'd like to contribute to this, I think.

      Charlie Lang: You're on, Peter.

      Peter Madison: The last of his kind, eh? An honest gambler. Here's a hundred for you.

      Charlie Lang: And here's the payoff: he died broke.

    Young Stanwyck is a Gambling Lady
    Barbara Stanwyck, Joel McCrea, Pat O'Brien, and C. Aubrey Smith star in "Gambling Lady," a 1934 film directed by Archie Mayo. Stanwyck plays "Lady" Lee, the daughter of Mike Lee, who runs the only honest gambling joint in town. The rest are owned by a syndicate. After Mike kills himself, Lady Lee gets a job with the syndicate, but she will only play honestly. She turns out to be quite the card shark.

    Lady attracts a wealthy man, Garry Madison (McCrea) and the two marry. But jealousy enters the picture when Sheila Aiken (Claire Dodd) shows up and tries to get Garry away from Lady.

    Nice film, on the short side, with good performances from Stanwyck, McCrea, O'Brien as Lady's friend, and C. Aubrey Smith as Garry's father. Stanwyck is very young here, with the edge and toughness that will make her one of the great stars. McCrea is as handsome and likable as ever.

    Recommended for the performances.
