This film is very predictable and boring and also the casting seems really jarring sometimes for example Bette Davis as fight promoter's moll opposite with Edward g Robinson. The 'kid' is cute as pie, the girlfriend is annoying just as she was in the film from the same year she also did with Bette and Humphrey Bogart, "Marked Woman". 1 dimensional characters cliché upon cliché I didn't make it through to the end.
I have to add more lines. But what else is there to say? Bette is wasted in this one, I think the performance of kid Galahad was actually quite nice, incidentally. Such a wonderful creature preferring the annoying B instead of Bette was another stumbling block to buying into the film.
