THE MIRACLE KID (1941) Tom Neal, Carol Hughes. Tom’s a boxer with no punch. Suddenly, his rivals start dropping like flies! What is his mysterious power? A great little "con" action comedy. A few years later Neal was actually duking it out in real life with Franchot Tone. 16mm
THE PAYOFF (1942) Lee Tracy, Tom Brown, Tina Thayer. Tracy is a slick reporter who worms his way into the underworld to find a killer. Although his voice and demeanor are the same, Tracy has aged horribly in the 10 years since "Doctor X." From 16mm
THE CONTENDER (1944) Buster Crabbe, Arline Judge. A truck driver turns to boxing but is soon drug down by booze and broads. An interesting "good guy gone bad" film. The boxing advisor to this film was Art Lasky (remember him in "Cinderella Man?") From 16mm.
MEN ON HER MIND (1944) Mary Beth Hughes, Edward Norris. Things get sticky when a singer’s three fiancées all come a’ calling. Nice little PRC comedy. From 16mm.
