...producer. It dutifully records the Boston Strong Boy (Greg McClure) as he rises to fame and florid magnanimity - through his unhappy marriage with a betighted showgirl (Linda Darnell), his un happy love for a Boston girl (Barbara Britton), his still unhappier fondness for training on Black Velvet (champagne & stout) and the inevitable consequences at the hands of Jim Corbett. After that came his long, pitiful period as an alcoholic has-been and his ultimate salvation - with the Boston lady's warm approval - as a temperance lecturer at Chautauquas.
