Just watched on YouTube as linked from Cartoon Brew what was another Paramount Modern Madcap called From Dime to Dime. In this one, a poor man finds a dime on a sidewalk and decides to get a cup of coffee at a diner. It's here that his conscience tells him to use it to gamble on a slot machine. From there, the guy's luck changes for the good until...This being from the former Famous Studios, this cartoon has the usual cast and crew from director Seymour Kneitel and music director Winston Sharples to voice artists Jackson Beck and Jack Mercer who co-wrote the story with Carl Meyer. Nothing really funny happens and if you're familiar with this kind of story you can probably guess the ending but it's fascinating to see such an adult subject matter being treated in what was still at this time considered a kiddie medium. So on that note, From Dime to Dime is worth a look for Paramount/Famous completists.
