	Movies - Two-Dollar Bettor

Two Dollar Bettor is a 1951 black-and-white film. The 1950's "problem picture" is both a camp morality story and B-movie film noir.

The film tells the story of a middle-aged man who places a two-dollar bet on a horse at the track and wins. The widower with two teenaged daughters becomes hooked on gambling and within a week he begins cashing in his life savings to pay off his bookie. To make matters worse, he's being grifted by a beautiful con woman (Windsor) and her husband (Brodie) for thousands of dollars. To try to get even, the man begins betting on long shots.
