Gentleman Joe Palooka

This second movie in the Joe Palooka series was better than the first one. Much to do with hiring a much better bunch of supporting players. Joe Kirkwood Jr. wasn't much of an actor, therefore it was a smart tactical choice by Monogram to hire just about every washed-up character actor from 1930s cinema to surround him with. And you barely noticed the Palooka being there. The plot was a bit of a mess and not that many laughs, but it was a noticeable upgrade from the first one they attempted.
