And Thank God for that. A little fast paced boxing movie with a too bland lead, John Darrow. A bottom of the barrel script and a 12 year old Mickey Rooney in a minor role and he's not too irritating. Any pluses? Yes. Good Print and sound and complete for a "lost" film. Directed by film jack-of-all-trades over the years, Al Herman. Good sets. Very fast paced, but totally phony. Very good work by various supporting players, Matthew Betz, Frank LaRue, Kit Guard among others. A relic, but worth a look for film buffs only. On that basis, enjoy.
