The connection between the horseplayer and his boss George, the liquor store proprietor (Vic Tayback), is interesting largely because, as the story wends its way along, we and George are often surprised by whatever Bud will do next.
Sammi Davis is believable as the possible paramour of Bud, and Vic Tayback is wry in his scenes as the cynical store owner, bringing an air of clarity to the storyline when it flags.

 California Chronicle: Comedy Dispels Arab-Jewish Bigotry
Television star Vic Tayback is custom designed for his leading role as Youssef Joseph in "An Oasis in Manhattan." the first-ever comedy written about Arab Americans, revived for Southern Californian audiences in 1990.
Ironically, Tayback, who became a familiar figure as Mel, the loud-mouthed, skinflint diner owner, in 200 TV segments of "Alice," played a minor role in "Oasis'' when it was first performed for Los Angeles audiences in 1966.
One of the best parts is played by Jane Hamilton as Selma Schroeder, the middle-aged "Jewish-American princess" mother of the bridegroom-to-be, who is every bit as bigoted as Youssef, and can match him, prejudice for prejudice.
