Interesting facts
Gambling House is a 1951 American crime film noir directed by Ted Tetzlaff and starring Victor Mature, Terry Moore and William Bendix.
Production
The story, titled Mr. Whiskers, was purchased by RKO Pictures in 1947 and scheduled in 1948 as a vehicle for Victor Mature, a Twentieth Century-Fox player with a contractual obligation to star in one RKO film per year. However, the project was postponed to enable Mature to appear in Easy Living. Mature refused the assignment and was suspended by Twentieth Century-Fox.
In late 1949, the project was renamed Alias Mike Fury, later renamed again as Gambling House. The script was rewritten and Mature relented. Filming began in February 1950.
