Hi,
I enjoyed this rarity.
Another film, where, although Duke is not the star,
he is once again, learning his skills.
Although Duke had started off in in the movie
in the starring role, he was now being gradually relegated.
If Cohn was scripting the film,
it would have been a humiliating farewell.
Duke played Dusty, a worthless college football player,
willing to sell out his team for a few pieces of silver.
During his career, in his mind,
he was to never play such an objectionable role again!
He was soon to fall out with, Harry Cohn, the Columbia boss,
who thought so badly of Duke,
he casted him as a corpse in in the previous film, The Deciever!!!
This was his final movie, for him.
It was not until, the Lone Star movies, was he able
to recover.
