Fighting Fools: Review

Leo Gorcey and Huntz Hall lead the Bowery Boys through this so-so prizefighting comedy.

Their dead friend's brother, Johnny Higgins (Frankie Darro), an alcoholic ex-fighter, is persuaded to return to the ring to avenge his sibling's death. The gangsters do their best to screw up the Boys' plans, but Johnny ends up winning the championship anyway. leave a comment
