Last night I watched another Brian Donlevy "B" film from 1937, this one called "Born Reckless" and, as with "Midnight Taxi", which I watched the other day, this one also dealt with a taxi cab company being taken over by gangsters. This is simply a quick, very snappy, and overall enjoyable romp where the good guys implausibly win over the baddies. I say implausibly because the plot of this film is really "B" material, the kind of stuff you'd see from the back seat in a drive in - if you watch. Along with Donlevy, there are Rochelle Hudson, Barton MacLane (guess whether or not he's the baddie...), Harry Carey, Chick Chandler, and several other good character actors. It's fun, though, and worth the hour to watch it. I'd certainly watch it again. However, there would be a break of at least three years...
