John Boles, Ida Lupino, and Jack Oakie in Croisons le fer (1937)

Review by SnoopyStyle

Croisons le fer

6/10

mildly amusing

Wrestler Mike Scanlon's manager Honest 'Ham' Hamilton (Jack Oakie) had to 'borrow' the coat from singer Robert Densmore (John Boles) to sneak away from some angry bookies. Mike screwed up Ham's plan by winning. Densmore's gold-digging girlfriend Marcia Trent (Margot Grahame) starts cheating on him with Mike. Ham finds out and sees an opportunity to drive her out by telling her that Densmore is broke. She leaves Densmore. In Budapest, he meets nightclub singer Marietta (Ida Lupino).

Jack Oakie is mildly amusing. He has his moments as a trickster and a devil may care character. I don't really care about the romantic entanglement of the other characters. I don't know John Boles. He seems to be a fine actor but I'm not drawn to him. That detracts from the romance. There is a teenage Ida Lupino if one is star hunting. This is the mildest of amusement. It's a borderline case.
