Steve D Pure cheese despite Durante. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/04/24 Full Review christopher c. m I think from 1929 to 1960 Hollywood movies were required by law to have at least one musical number whether it fit the tone of the movie or not. Jimmy Durante is always a win. He was very good in the part he would play a lot in his career, the funny con man. But there are some annoying characters and like most of the movie between 1929 - 1970, it drags. It mainly drags in the middle, but not enough to ruin it. And it was a time you would not expect to see any nudity but there was a blink and you miss it topless picture. But it was a postcard from Fiji and they were black. I guess natives were excluded from the moral outrage of nipples in the thirties? I don't know, but it's there. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review kevin w It's a fish out of water tale as a simple country boy tries out life in the big city by becoming a prize fighter. Light dialogue moves this baby right along (except for that Jimmy Durante begins to irritate after a bit ... and that's a lot cause it's basically his movie!) and the characterizations seem as fresh as today. Durante performs his standard for which he was well known, "Ink-A-Dink-A-Doo" song as well. Not bad at all.
