Edward G had already made Hatchet Man and Little Caesar by the time this came around, so he was clearly on the upswing. Mike (Robinson) and Quita (Zita Johann) are a married couple. Years before, Mike was injured in a fishing accident, while saving "Pipes" (Richard Arlen). and then it gets even more complicated. Pipe starts falling for Quita. in this one, Robinson is much more low key... he's just a regular working mug. not yet the larger than life figure. the sound and picture quality are a little iffy in this one, but to be fair, it's pretty old! stuff happens, and we see where things stand. don't want to say too much, but it's a good film. early-ish in the Ed Robinson collection. not shown often, either. it's very similar to Captains Courageous, that Spencer Tracy would make in 1937. Directed by Howard Hawks, who made so many films with Cary Grant and Humphrey Bogart; Hawks and Robinson would also make Barbary Coast in 1935 a couple years later. story by Houston Branch.
