buddha-21 Review of The Crowd Roars

The Crowd Roars (1938)

The Crowd Roars is excellent!

[9/10 · 14 December 1999]

This version is 10X the quality of the later (1947) Mickey Rooney version. Even though Rooney makes some "cute" comments, the lack of "feel" for the story is apparent. Watch both and you'll agree. This version is EXCELLENT. Much better fighting scenes, too. And a definitely better love angle...
