If you don't go into this expecting a Warners B you may actually enjoy this tale. The hero plays a James Cagney character but without Cagney's charisma. But how many actors had that anyway. The boxing is terrible but that's besides the point. The actors seem to be giving it their best shot, Snub Pollard being the only one I recognized. As I watched the movie I did wonder where else I may have seen the other actors. Pretty sure it was filmed in downtown LA, the gasometer looked familiar. The locations would definitely be of interest to a locations sleuth. The film doesn't do as bad job of depicting a slice of 1936. You could do a lot worse if, like me, you find you can't sleep at 2 AM.
