Audience Reviews

CinemaSerf 5/10 Jul 09, 2022
William Eythe heads the cast in the pretty unremarkable little drama as "Lundy". He is a bit of a cock-sure oil worker who returns home to find that his erstwhile girlfriend "Betty" (Barbara Britton) has gone and gotten herself engaged to his older friend "Gus" (Nestor Paiva). Determined to win her back, he demonstrates how he earned his eponymous nickname with almost catastrophic results for just about everyone! At times it is quite a light-hearted affair, with a decent enough supporting cast working hard to keep the derivative storyline just a little bit interesting, but largely this is a standard afternoon feature that I doubt I will remember this time next week.
