So's Your Aunt Emma (1942)

An American crime comedy directed by Jean Yarbrough, starring ZaSu Pitts.
The ex-girlfriend of a boxing legend goes to see the dead boxer's son fighting. She meets a reporter on the way in who is in trouble with the newspaper editor because he keeps missing stories. When the gangsters at the boxing stadium and night club think that the woman is a mob boss, she plays the role to help the reporter and boxer.
The plot was actually interesting and some of the jokes were funny. The characters were identifiable, but far from memorable. The style was of the time, pacing about right and there weren't any technical problems. This is just another alrihgt movie to watch because there's nothing else to do. I rate it o.k.
This is how watching a bunch of old films should go: lots of o.k. with a good one or a bad one here and there. I was getting really tired of giving everything such bad ratings, but the films really did suck.
