PRISON SHADOWS(1936)
In the set: 100 Greatest Mystery Classics

I'm not a fan of boxing, whether it be "real" or
in movies! That being said, this is just about
what I expected! Not terrible, just not my kind
of movie! C

A review from IMDb.com:

Well, this idea behind this one seems a bit corny
but if the film were well made into a a very dark
film and script revised then it could be a good
film - it has potential to be much better than what
it is. Instead of being a good dark crime film we
have a goofy boxer, Gene Harris, that is being
framed for murder and through the death of his
dog the evidence is revealed as to how this
young boxer could kill 2 men with a single
punch.

There are attempts at comedy in this film but
the joke fall way flat. The real comedy comes
from Eddie Nugent. Honestly, Eddie Nugent does
not look like a boxer at all... maybe a boxers
goofy best friend but not the boxer himself.
LOL - that is what makes this film actually
comical and not the lame humor itself within
the film.

Who Holds A Doughnut Like That?! I mean really
I have never seen one held that way before to
dunk in the drink.

I feel sorry for the dog in this film - that
is where my heart belongs.

3/10 - Rainey-Dawn
