AND

THE PRESS OF ENGLAND RAVES !! READ WHAT THE DAILY HERALD and SUNDAY CHRONICLE HAD TO SAY:-

"VERDICT: Smash hit! This is the most exciting film I have seen for year. The prize-fighting acquences beiray the touch of the master. It becomes clear that Robert Taylor can pack a punch with the best of them. And thal idol can act. He grows in sincerity and downright good workmanship. This is the most vivid and enthral- ling entertainment you or I are likely to encounter in a month of Saturday nights,"

Sunday Chronicle,

"Magnificently done Mr. Taylor and the director do a splendid Job of entertainment. Frank Morgan, Llonel Stander. Edward Arnold and Nat Pendicion are immense. Every possible devies of suspense and humour is used, the dramatics of boxing which the stage can never approach are fully exploited and interludes of wooing and gangsterism balance a brilliantly made picture which holds you for every accend,"
