My cousin and I saw this movie when it came out in the early 50s. We were like about 12 years old, the perfect age for this movie.
I saw this as a ten year old in a Saturday Kids Matinee, and remember it to this day. It was outrageously funny, and had me on the edge of my seat.
I haven't seen this movie since I was a kid, and can't remember if I saw the whole thing. Somebody should make it available, or show it on PBS.
As far as B-movies go, this film is a comedy gold mine!
Everything said about "SKIPALONG ROSENBLOOM" is so true. As a kid seeing it for the first time back in the '50's (remember we were cutting our teeth on barbed-wire cowboy movies, Wild West cerealized TV shows, adventure comic books & MADdening humor magazines, fer chrissake)...
Stars of Skipalong Rosenbloom, Slapsie Maxie Rosenbloom and Max Baer were a pair of former boxing champions who around this time had a nightclub act together. Rosenbloom who talked with that punch drunk New York accent and Baer who was always known as a man who liked to have a good time more than anything else.
