i be a big 1930 movie fan and will watch most anything that i see on turner classic movie thats new for me . so i give this a shot and after all it the great harold lloyd who rival chaplin a a great silent film comedian . i have watch much less of lloyd silent film then of chaplin but i have to say i be a much big chaplin fan . anyway this film fell so flat for me that i do not finish it . i can understand why his sound career be so limited and he do not get very good material to work with . after you have see chaplin and abbott and costello and the three stooge and martin and lewis and the marx brother and and laurel and hardy do box spoof ( or violence in general ) and this one be very forgettable . i be also interested in watch adolphe menjou a i really enjoy him in path of glory but his role here also do nothing special for me . maybe they should have get into the boxing sooner because at least half the film ( at least it seem that way ) be before he get in a ring . i can tell there be a lot of lloyd fan here and this wont be a popular review but i must rate this a compare to what else be out there at the time and 4 out of 10. don not watch this with anyone your try to get to like old movie a they may not watch another one with you again and very flat . for an alternative to anyone who really like this or be look for more little known comedy in general i recommend kelly the second make a few year earlier and another nobody become a boxer comedy with patsy kelly and in a supporting role charles chase . these have both be show on the turner classic movie channel .
