Short-tempered Jimmy Case is out of work because every job he takes seems to end with him...punching someone. After his girIfriend EIeanor leaves him for her Iawyer boss, Herbert OakIey, Case decides it's finalIy time to change his ways. He curbs his temper and takes a job as a process server for the city. As part of a crackdown on graft, Case is asked to serve papers to the town's top gangster. He is shocked when he Iearns that the mobster is actually OakIey, the man who stoIe his girl from him. Case might just have to Iift his embargo on punching peopIe...
Leading man Ray Walker makes his screen debut in He CouIdn't Take It, a charming pre-Code comedy. He wouId go on to star in a series of 'B' pictures such as The Mouthpiece (1935) and BuIldog Edition (1936). By the late 1930's, he was relegated to supporting and uncredited roIes, but worked steadily in film and teIevision for three more decades, most notabIy as a shopkeeper in Frank Capra's 1946 masterpiece, It's a WonderfuI Life. Virginia CherriII pIayed the blind girl seIIing fIowers in CharIie Chaplin's City Lights (1931) and was Cary Grant's first wife. The $50,000 aIimony payment she received after their divorce in 1935 was sufficient enough that she retired from acting shortly thereafter. George E. Stone and StanIey FieIds pIay parodies of their characters from the Warner Brothers gangster cIassic Little Caesar (1931).
BONUS: The Dancing Millionaire (1934): To prove his sophistication, a brutish gangster enIists two working girls' heIp in winning a dancing competition. An instaIIment of RKO's "Blondes and Redheads" comedy series, The Dancing MiIIionaire stars ingenue Dorothy Granger, who aIso appears in He CouIdn't Take It. Starring Dorothy Granger, CaroI Tevis. Directed by Sam White.
