Palooka. Benjamin Stoloff. 1934. 
Oh, Jimmy Durante. I’m aware of his name but not really much more than that.
This is no great shakes, but it’s pretty amusing. The storyline (it’s basically Rocky except not) works, but there’s large swathes of the movie where they’re just spinning their wheels.
It’s fine: Fun performances, stylish cinematography, and a classic story. But it’s not really worth watching.
