Featured review
Fight not to see this
Jack Oakie has the main role. He's excellent in an atypical role in "Thieves' Highway." Here he is pure corn pone.
This movie has the logic of an early Eddie Cantor movie -- and none of the charm. Oakie begins as the manager of a boxer. The boxer is played by a very handsome actor, who shows off his body quite a bit. Then there's this opera singer, see ... He has a blonde girlfriend. She is played amusingly by Margot Graham.
Oakie seems to be managing the opera singer -- who sings no opera. He tosses off a schmaltzy song but opera? None.
I watched it because Ida Lupino is in it. She does what she can. She looks very pretty and she is appealing.
It's not the worst movie that great lady ever appeared in. That would be "The Lady and the Mob." But it is at best routine and really sub-par.
