I couldn't resist writing up a film based on a classic comic. Robin Williams as popeye seemed too on the nose. Who now remembers Joe Palooka, the fighter, played here bu Jimmy Durante. Our younger readers might know some cartoon animal version of the manager character Knobby's with his big schnoz and gravly voice, oft imitated in Saturday morning cartoons - ah cha cha cha!
"Misfortune dogs my footsteps," he says, reminding Joe the champ has no wife and kids. Paluka lost his first fight because he was taking it easy on acount of his opponent asked him to take pity on his wife and kids.
