Roy 'Slag' McGurk: Ten thousand!
Roy 'Slag' McGurk: Ten thousand Utopia Mining Limited of East Africa.
Roy 'Slag' McGurk: Utopia Mining Limited of East Africa what?
Milbane: Shares. Shares, my dear McGurk. At the market value today that I guarantee will soar to a dollar a share in two weeks time.
Roy 'Slag' McGurk: Oh, I, uh, got to wait two weeks, have I?
Milbane: That's all and they're yours Mr. McGurk for one thousand dollars.

Over ripe

If you're a big fan of Wallace Beery, as I am, you'll be disappointed with this rehash of the common theme that Beery is rough on the outside but sweet inside. Beery's best days were in the 30s, and by 1947 he is far too old to be playing the "Champ" or even the ex-Champ. Do yourself a favor and give this one a miss. Go back and see "The Champ" again. Among my favorite Beery films - "Dinner at 8", "Big House", "Treasure Island".. and for a hoot, "Viva Villa"
