One other waste of celluloid that has been made pleasant by an unspoiled character... A prizefight story not quite able to contain Mr. James (Schnozzle) Durante, who is lovely too, though I doubt he ever would admit it.

Jimmie Durante and Lupe Velez give all they've got to this one. Durante fans will go crazy over it; those who get tired of him after the first hour will like it somewhat less.
