Bloodhounds of Broadway is a 1952 musical film based on a Damon Runyon story. It starred Mitzi Gaynor, who was then still a young starlet, along with Scott Brady, Mitzi Green, Marguerite Chapman, Michael O'Shea, Wally Vernon and George E. Stone. It was directed by Harmon Jones.
Gaynor plays a country girl who longs to be in show business. A New York bookmaker (Brady) hiding out in Georgia meets her and the inevitable happens – he goes straight and she gets her wish.
