Run for the thorns

Kentucky Blue Streak is the story of a Kentucky racing family now in genteel poverty with mother Margaret Mann and children Frank Coghlan and Patricia Scott. Their proud stable is now reduced to but one horse Blue Streak a promising 3 year old whom they hope can win the Kentucky Derby and pull them out of poverty.

But Coghlan gets himself in a jackpot over a killing and he's serving a manslaughter term though he swear innocence. Reporter Eddie Nugent helps him with clearing himself

What can I say about this poverty row product from Puritan Pictures. Lousy cinematography, no direction, performances not quite achieving a college level dramatic society lousy editing. Roy D'Arcy who did a few A films in the silent era was a great Snidely Whiplash villain. But believe me it isn't enough.
