Gamble on Love

Gamble on Love featured "contestants who are married or about to be married" with members of the audience participating. Couples had to answer questions that included "In an early American love story one person was named Priscilla and another John Alden. What was the name of the third?" Correct answers won merchandise, with the prize determined by spinning a "wheel of fortune". ==Episode status==

DuMont, like CBS and NBC during the 1950s, likely kept at least one or two "example" episodes of each of their main game shows, though DuMont's exact policy is not known. However, DuMont's archive was destroyed after the network ceased broadcasting in 1956. Although a small number of episodes of DuMont game shows have surfaced (including episodes of Okay Mother, On Your Way, Blind Date, etc.), none are known to exist of either Gamble on Love nor Time Will Tell. == Production ==

Robert K. Adams was the producer, and Harry Coyle was the director. The production cost was $4,674 per episode. ==Critical response==

A review of the premiere episode in The New York Times said, "It was an awkward half hour ...". The review indicated that Darcel ("a glamour girl with a French accent") was not well suited to talking with married couples about how they fell in love. A review in the trade publication Variety called the program "a 30 minute hodgepodge of queries and plugs for the contributing prize donors." It said that the format might have succeeded with a different host, but that Darcel was not suited to her role. ==See also==
