Fight for Your Lady 1937

       Robert Densmore is a wealthy American singer and he has proposed marriage to Marcia Trent.  They go to a wrestling match, Marcia meets one of the wrestlers and begins cheating on Densmore.  Pro-wrestling manager Honest Hamilton takes a coat and hat that he “borrowed” to escape his creditors back to Densmore.  He starts training Densmore when he finds him sick with a cold.  Hamilton learns Marcia is only after Densmore’s money and he convinces Marcia that Densmore is broke.  Marcia calls off the wedding and returns her gifts.  Densmore starts seeing Marietta at a Budapest nightclub.  Anton is Marietta very jealous boyfriend and he has killed over 40 men in duels.  Densmore is hoping Anton will kill him in a duel as a way to commit suicide because of his heartbreak.

       I thought this was funny and even hilarious in some scenes.  After you have watched for a little bit, you forget this is from 1937 with the hairstyles and clothing of that time.  I didn’t know Marietta is played by Ida Lupino, I pictured her entirely differently.  3 ½* (I liked this movie)
