George Raft is Tony Angelo, proprietor of the famous Gold Coast Saloon in turn-of-the-century San Francisco. It's a rough and tumble joint with singing, boxing and drinking. Up on Nob Hill, a well-to-do lawyer courts Angelo's vote by way of his sister, who is smitten with Angelo and his crazy saloon. All goes well, until she tires of him, and the lawyer turns out to be crooked. Tony's got another girl from his side of the tracks waiting in the wings and there is a happy ending. There are some stunning Technicolor sets on display here, and an atmospheric depiction of San Francisco. I particularly liked the short sequence in Chinatown and the house of horrors.
