Schmaltzy but smooth
8 January 2022
An American romantic drama; A story about a light-heavyweight boxing champion who has cultivated a wholesome image for himself, which isn't entirely true. Tragic circumstances cause him to change his ways. Based on the play by Bertram Millhauser and Beulah Marie, this is a sentimental film with a theme on the lost-man-saved-by-good-woman story. It has good pace and enough to amuse despite a corny storyline. The production values are good with some good photography and a scale worthy of a main feature. Douglas Fairbanks Jr is handsome as the cynical prize fighter reassessing his life, and Loretta Young shines brightly.
