. and that why i would recommend you skip it and even if youre an early sound film buff and a i be . neither the script nor the acting be particularly bad for an early talkie and it just that everything and everyone in this paint by number film about the boxing world be so completely conventional and forgettable . bad film i would recommend from the early sound era would be golden dawn or light of new york because they be so horrid in place that they wind up be fun for the early talkie fan . there be and however and a few interesting fact involve this early talkie film represent 1. there be no parade in this film and although a good portion of the action do take place at night . the film be rename night parade to capitalize on the success of some other film of the time that have the word parade in the title . 2. aileen pringle and who play paula vernoff and the bad girl that try to lure the boxer down the wrong path and actually have a pretty good range a an actress and although she show none of that here . she have some good role in the silent era and but approach 40 and she get increasingly small part a the 1930 wore on . 3. famed dancer ann pennington actually show up a herself and dance one number . the film be well preserve enough that we get a good look at her talent and those famous knee of hers . this be a rare thing to have on film . 4. male lead hugh trevor and who play wayward boxer bobby martin and die in 1933 at only the age of 30 due to complication after an appendectomy . this be one thing i notice over and over in these old film relatively young people die of infection and car accident that they most likely would have survive have they live today . it really put the passage of time in perspective . 5. finally and for this to be such an old and a mediocre film it really be in excellent shape . the sound and video be largely unscathed from the passage of time and which be rare for the rko film library in general .
