Description by OLDIES.com:
This comic crime caper was directed by the legendary Sam Katzman. New York-born Katzman produced a remarkably long list of economic but highly successful B-pictures during his career, ranging from westerns, sci-fi, and East Side Kids comedies to Elvis Presley musicals for MGM. Katzman felt there was star potential for Herman Brix, whose featured role in Amateur Crook followed a career initially built on his athletic prowess. The 1928 Olympic shot-putter had previously played the title role in The New Adventures of Tarzan (1935). Brix later changed his name to Bruce Bennett and enjoyed a successful film career that included several pictures for Warner Bros, including the classic Bogart adventure, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948).

Movie Lovers' Ratings & Reviews:
Based on 72 ratings.
This isn't too bad a film until about 2/3 through when it tries to become a broader comedy and succeeds in failing. Fussy Knight tries to provide low brow humor but is just seems silly. Herman Brix (later Bruce Bennett) went on to his best role in 1948 Treasrure of the Sierra Madre. Jack Mulhall and Monte Blue play the two heavies. Just how many movies were those guys in, I wonder?
