Kid Galahad (1937)

Kid Galahad (1937) is an ingenue in the ring classic boxing sports and bellboy Humphrey Bogart is the baddie high-thirties Michael Curtiz greatest director of all time steamer with a floof performance from Bette Davis and a flouncy show from Bette Davis' own acting discovery Jane Bryan, and Wayne Morris, Wayne who is his own mystery man of film noir, which shall be laid out a little below, while this Curtiz cut is not film noir, nor even not a little or with a slight flicker of noir, which oddly made it likeable material for the main event which appears to be the 1962 starring Elvis Presley remake of the matter.

Ingenue in the ring country bumpkin with his trouser legs cut off by a near blow jobbing Humphrey Bogart must have looked good on Elvis too, because he is as much of a bellhop as he is a boxer, and Wayne Morris, mystery man of film noir is the same.
