Shy milkman Burleigh Sullivan accidentally knocks out drunken Speed McFarlane, a champion boxer who was flirting with Burleigh’s sister. The newspapers get hold of the story and photographers even catch Burleigh knock out Speed again. Speed’s crooked manager decides to turn Burleigh into a fighter. Burleigh doesn’t realize that all of his opponents have been asked to take a dive. Thinking he really is a great fighter, Burleigh develops a swelled head which puts a crimp in his relationship with pretty nightclub singer Polly Pringle. He may finally get his comeuppance when he challenges Speed for the title.

Up there with Danny Kaye’s best

The Kid From Brooklyn  As has been said, it does help to like Danny Kaye in order to enjoy the film. However, along with other great Kaye vehicles such as ‘The Secret Life of Walter Mitty’, ‘The Court Jester’ and ‘Hans Christian Andersen’, those who didn’t like him initially may find themselves converted. The weak link of ‘The Kid from Brooklyn’ is the songs, pleasant enough and not awful certainly but none of them really are among Jule Styne/Sammy Cahn’s better songs, with most of them being pretty forgettable after a few days. “Pavlova” is a gem this said and a great example of Kaye’s tongue-twisting/pattering genius. On the other hand, ‘The Kid from Brooklyn’ looks great, being beautifully shot in rich Technicolor and the costumes (especially Eve Arden’s) are gorgeous. The script sparkles with wit and charm, also being devoid of the sentimentality that could mar some of Kaye’s later work, and while some of the story is total nonsense you’re just having so much fun and not having much care in the world to properly care. Kaye is in his element, delivering a performance that’s both hilarious and endearing. He gets sterling support from his supporting cast. Whether in the glamour stakes like with Virginia Mayo and Vera Ellen, or in the snappy ones with Lionel Stander, Steve Cochran and especially sparkling Eve Arden. Fay Bainter is also along for the ride in less subdued form to usual (not a knock at all on the actress, just a comment on her usual roles). In conclusion, very good and up there with Kaye’s best.

Item received was not as described

Item received was not 'starring Helen Hayes' despite her picture being on the DVD, it was actually the version with Joan Hickson. I raised a complaint one week ago but still heard nothing in reply. Very poor customer service.

Wild in the Country

The movie was very good.

Easy access to magnificant old super-movie

Easy way to get to see an old magnificant movie with superstars. Delivered within 48 hours, downloaded in good quality few minutes with soundtrack in three languages.

Fantastic

Fantastic, thank you so much

i purchased this from you several months ago

i purchased this from you several months ago. Unfortunately I never saved it . i owned the dvd that i purchased about 20 years ago.and when my computer crashed lost it a second time. Anyone who buys a movie three times likes it. What you sold me is near DVD quality. Your competition sells it for three times what you charged because once again it's out of print. To boot when the charge three times the price the qualitty is poor. I OWN 10,000videos that took 40 years to acquire making purchases all over the world. I say this to emphasize that you are the only quality shop doing what you do so customers can have confidence when they buy from you. The only problem dealing with you is your supply is limited otherwise I would be our best customer. For the record this is a fact based story with fictionalized characters.

These copied burned movies not original It’sa shame

I have used the Rare & Collectables for a few year and find no problem with them. I mainly go for downloads instead of buying the movie.

10/10 service

Thanks so much. Great film.
