The New Klondike

About the Film

After being cut from the team at the beginning of spring training, a championship baseball player gets caught up in a shady real estate deal. This comedy by the future director of All Quiet on the Western Front Lewis Milestone was in Miami just as the state’s land boom was about to go bust, and there’s something quintessentially Floridian in the who’s-accompanying-who storyline by famed sportswriter Ring Lardner.
