If you enjoy a movie full of stars, you'll like this one: Robert Stack, Bette Davis, Charles Coburn, Peter Cushing, MacDonald Carey, playing historical figures during one of my favorite time periods, with all the great costumes and architecture to go with it.
You get to see that famous battle between the Bon homme and Serapis, hear that famous line, "I've not yet begun to fight", and experience great moments in American history, the start of the US Navy and a man who had more than his share of troubles, both professionally and personally.
I would have loved a Hollywood happy ending, but since this is a bio film, that couldn't happen.
Worth watching!

Talk about a time waster! This vapid story of a former boxer turned speakeasy owner who wants to better himself and falls for an emotionally unstable gold-digger was one that should have gone the way of those cellulose nitrate films.
George Raft's performance was so wooden, half the time I thought it was a lookalike bot. If Constance Cummins has any acting talent at all, she sure hid it here! Even her temper tantrum destruction of her former bedroom fell flat, just like the rest of the story.
The other performers didn't give much of a performance either, including Wynne Gibson, as George's tough talking ex-girlfriend. Alison Skipworth was okay as his tutor/mentor, but I'm sure she's done better in more worthy roles.
The only thing worthwhile was seeing Mae West and hearing her give one of her classic lines: "Goodness had nothing to do with it". Other than that, this film can be easily skipped.
