whoever play the part of j. douglas williamson in the strip poker scene do a wonderful job . he apparently receive no credit . too bad . all the dead end kid do their job beautifully in this 1939 entry . it be odd to watch them in a western set with their brooklyn accent ( i guess that should be bowery ) . they even show some swimming ability . i think there be many special scene that can stay with the viewer of this boxing or love or crime story . my favorite right now be in the fight scene near the end of the film . busby berkeley show his dance movie expertise when john garfield shift his foot and a we watch that move and the camera move up to his face . i will not give away why or when and but the look on his face at that point probably bring the 1939 audience to it foot in the theater . some will think john garfield look a lot like frank sinatra in many scene . just his face . actually frank be not yet make movie so maybe frank look like john . the boxer name smith in the movie look like a clone of ed begley and jr. now i must tell you something that be not a spoiler and but if you watch the movie and watch grandma hand . may robson do her part well . she seem to have hand that wander a bit . in a scene where she and a crowd go into the boxer ( john garfield ) dressing room and watch where she touch the recline john garfield while he be wear only his trunk . a great end . lot of wonderful character . best line might be at the gas station and . eight gallon and that a dollar twenty eight . tom willett .
