Back When $20 Would Buy A Week's Groceries
boblipton13 January 2023
Buster West and Tom Patricola go into the fight management game, with a boxer whom anyone can knock down. However, when he gets angry, he can beat anyone, and the only thing that makes him angry is a man with a beard. So they pay a man with a scruffy beard $10 to show up at the ring side.

It's a silly little comedy with a silly premise, but West and Patricola milk it for everything it's worth, and throw in some of their eccentric dancing on top. I wasn't impressed by the comedy that is part of the plot, but their dancing is a tremendous amount of fun.

West came out of a vaudeville family, and was in an act with his parents. Patricola had also played in vaudeville, but five years with George White's Scandals led him into movies.
