I always love seeing my great Uncle John playing the bad guy. He did it so well. Thanks for uploading this.

The music during the fight scenes is strange.
Anachronistic, like 1930s movie.....
I didn't know Ozzie Nelson's neighbor Joe, was a sports announcer. 52:33 🤭

What role did the "comic relief" character play? His jokes were bad and he was annoying but always there.
Short movie. Too much boxing and not enough Chopin. Not a bad movie; not a particularly good one either.
SPOILER ALERT.
The brother did a whole lot of fights while the other brother was in the hospital. Either the fights were scheduled too close together or he spent a year in the hospital.
Playing piano at a high level requires daily practice. It also takes a lot of time and diligence to get ready for a 15 round boxing match against a champion. That was a plot flaw in this movie. Another plot was the total blindness. I thought he just lost sight in one eye.
He fights like a piano player. He wore his opponent out by letting himself get beat up. 😄

Movie with an absurd plot in which a then 37-year old actor plays a concert pianist who moonlights as a champion boxer, or is it vice versa? Nowhere near enough hours in a day to focus on both simultaneously. Typical B-movie dreck not to be taken as anything more than farcical entertainment.
