PALOOKA(1934)
I'm not a fan of boxing, at all! Sadly this is what
this movie is all about! It's got some humor, mostly
from Jimmy! One that I'll never watch again! C
From a reviewer at IMDb.com:
I found this gem in the bargain bin but it is a must
see for anyone interested in classic movies. I am a
huge Jimmy Durante fan and he was terrific, but I
thought Lupe Valez stole the show. She was an incredible
comedic actress who died much too young. She lead
a tragic life but you would never know it by her
performance here. Jimmy Durante was just non stop
in your face comedy. He was a great entertainer
with heart and intensity. Also, William Cagney
did a wonderful job as Al McSwatt and Marjorie
Rambeau was unforgettable as Mayme Palooka.
This had me laughing from start to finish and
the ending was the biggest laugh of all. - frankd-64766
