Any Number Can Play is a 1949 melodrama film starring Clark Gable and Alexis Smith, with Wendell Corey and Audrey Totter in support.

Elcott, a dealer at Charley's casino, cannot pay a $2,000 gambling debt he owes to a gangster, who sends goons Debretti and Sistina to collect.

A disgruntled gambling couple, Mr. and Mrs. Lorgan, claim they have lost their entire savings at Charley's casino and seek their money back.

As Charley sees it, they lost fair and square and will not budge; Lon feels bad about the way her husband makes his living.

Charley is depressed by the breakdown of his family life, but still rejects the wiles of a former girlfriend, Ada, seeking to rekindle their relationship.

Committed to a fair shake, Charley refuses to shut the game down and lifts the house limit to let the man bet as much as he dares.

According to MGM records the film earned $2,466,000 in the US and Canada and $739,000 overseas resulting in a profit after negative, distribution, and promotional costs, of $763,000.
