PUNQ

Rated 22 Mar 2023

I'm a wrestling fan so I probable get more out of this comedy than most. But Bert Lahr as a promotor, along with Jack Carson reluctantly getting tangled in the bizarre world that is this entertainment based sport, was lovely. Spoofs the business nicely and you get to see a few wrestlers from that first TV-boom era. They try to get Vince Edwards and his physique over as a instant star. and he did fine in his first credited role as this bodybuilding fighter. Comedy full of energy.
