In the film Any Number Can Play, Clark Gable plays Charley Enley Kyng, a Las Vegas casino owner who is struggling to balance his business and personal life. The movie opens with Kyng dealing with the daily operations of his casino, which is frequented by both high rollers and locals. Despite the success of his business, Kyng is often preoccupied with his strained relationship with his wife, Lon (Alexis Smith), and his troubled son, Paul (Darryl Hickman).

As the movie progresses, Kyng becomes increasingly aware of the consequences of his neglect of his family. He begins to take a more active role in his son's life, even though he still struggles to connect with him. Meanwhile, Lon becomes increasingly resentful of Kyng's constant absence, and she begins to consider leaving him for another man.

Kyng is also faced with a variety of other challenges, including the arrival of an old friend, Jim (Wendell Corey), who comes to town for a gambling spree. Jim's presence in Las Vegas causes Kyng to reflect on his own life choices, particularly his decision to stay in the gambling business despite its negative effects on his relationships and personal life.

Throughout the movie, Kyng is forced to confront the consequences of his actions and the reality of the world he has created. He struggles to balance his desire for success with his responsibility to his family, ultimately realizing that he cannot have both. As the movie comes to a close, Kyng must make a difficult decision about the future of his business and his relationships, knowing that each choice will come with its own set of consequences.

Any Number Can Play is a poignant and thought-provoking film that explores the complex intersection of family, business, and personal ambition. Clark Gable delivers a powerful performance as Kyng, conveying both his charm and his flaws in equal measure. The rest of the cast is also excellent, particularly Alexis Smith as Lon and Wendell Corey as Jim. The movie is beautifully shot, with stunning scenes of Las Vegas and the surrounding desert landscape. Overall, Any Number Can Play is a compelling drama that examines the cost of success and the importance of family in a world driven by ambition.
