MANPOWER! A crew of fist-fightin' tough guy pals working on heavy duty power lines! Edward G Robinson, poor schmuck, can't get a woman (can he ever, in any of these flicks?) until Marlene Dietrich sees him as someone who can at least pay the bills and relieve her of a crummy job dancing with strangers at a clip joint. George Raft plays his sensitive pal, who doesn't believe Dietrich will ever be the kind of woman to settle into married life. The supporting actors are quite well drawn (and include Alan Hale as "Jumbo"); good to see a cast of twenty or so people where each actor has enough to chew on to differentiate him from the person standing next to him.
