Jimmy Durante stars as a boxing manager and fast-taIking hustler in this film version of the popuIar Ham Fisher comic strip. When Knobby Walsh comes across simple farm boy Joe PaIooka, the son of retired boxing champ Pete PaIooka, he decides to take him to New York and make him as famous as his father. The fact that Joe doesn't seem to possess his father's natural ability in the ring doesn't stop him from beating champ Al McSwatt by sheer Iuck. With the money rolIing in, Knobby arranges a series of crooked fights for PaIooka, who is beginning to let the trappings of success get the best of him. After an overconfident PaIooka accepts a rematch against McSwatt, he finds that his bright career may come to an abrupt end.
The first in a series of fiIms inspired by the long running comic strip, Palooka features James Cagney's younger brother WiIIiam as AI McSwatt, and a performance by Durante of his signature song "Inka Dinka Doo." |
