Ending Spoiler

Just a comment about the last scene.
One of the greatest and most cathartic moments from any film from the 30's happens when Frankie does those flips ending with that amazing head spin. A head spin that really has to be seen to be believed. I just about lost it. Talk about an ending that leaves you walking on the clouds after going though such an emotional thunderstorm.

I knew about the family act, which would explain his athletic gifts. Too bad he was delegated to the B-Movies, which I am a fan of, but his talent exceeded that and deserved to be shown on a bigger stage. Either way, he's left quite a remarkable filmography. I always thought of him as a chip off the old Cagney block. :P

Definitely struck me immediately as a miniature Cagney.
