Press the Youtube icon above, then enter a title for the video in the box that pops up. Then, paste the code of the link, the part after the = sign, between the braces.

I have heard this before, but I don't see a YouTube icon. I see a HULU icon, to the right of the Quote icon. Does that do the same thing?

I'm not sure why you aren't seeing the Youtube icon. It is between the quote and hulu icons. I assume Hulu only posts Hulu videos, not Youtube.

Could it be a browser issue? I am using FireFox.

I thought that, but I'm using Firefox as well. That doesn't eliminate the possibility it could be caused by an add on if you have any installed. Have you tried Chrome to see if it appears there?

There has been some issue with the youtube posting recently.
Anyhow that apart...the movie description is fantastic!
"An honest bank employee gets hooked on horse racing, and starts to embezzle bank funds in an attempt to recoup his losses."

Thanks for posting this, OP.
IMO, this is a classic "Film Noir" whether or not you are a Horseplayer. You have to admire the way movies of this genre were written and directed back then. Almost like an Aesop Fable in movie form. In this case - Respectable Banker is seduced into the world of Horse Betting with a simple $2.00 bet, and can't stop even when his early winnings turn to horrible losses.
Check out the Grandstands packed to capacity as stock footage, and the separate "WIN - PLACE - SHOW" betting windows for different betting amounts. Love the way his "Bookie" is portrayed. Dark, shady, and with a low criminal type voice right out of any classic Crime Drama as he takes bets from our man "JH" over the phone.
