Take It or Leave It (1944)
A game show provides the backdrop for this drama that centers on an earnest young husband who desperately needs $1,000 to pay for his wife's obstetrician. To get it fast, he brings his wife and best friend to a radio station where the game is broadcast. He is chosen for the show. Unfortunately, the prize is only $64. The good-hearted host sympathizes with the poor contestant's plight and so ups the prize considerably. The category in which the young man excels is the "Scenes from Famous Movies" category.
