"City of Chance" is a B-movie, as it runs less than an hour and was, like other Bs, made on the cheap. But it also is surprisingly good...and is directed by Ricardo Cortez of all people.

The film stars Lynn Bari as a nosey reporter who is in love with a guy who owns a high class illegal gambling joint. Instead of trying to get him to live without breaking the law, she is trying to get him shut down by working under cover with the police. But again and again, the boss and his old friend (Donald Woods and C. Aubrey Smith) seem to be one step ahead of her...and pretty much everyone else in the film!

The story is filled with interesting characters and small stories...most of which are quite entertaining. As for Bari, I felt her role was a bit broad and lacked subtlety....but I could easily look past this and enjoyed the movie immensely...and it proves B does NOT stand for bad movie!
