Buy This Item Kid Monk Baroni by Image Entertainment  Available from Amazon  $12.99  on 8-30-2008     In this rousing rough-and-tumble story of a street gang in New York's Little Italy, young Monk (Leonard Nimoy) becomes a professional fighter and rises to the heights of success in the sordid world of boxing. Filmed against a background of real boxers, gold-digging sex kittens, crooked gamblers and the mob, this taut drama is aflame with all the excitement of romance, greed and golden gloves action! Reader Reviews I bought this DVD because Leonard Nimoy of Star Trek fame and Jack Larson of the 1950's Superman fame were both in this film way back in 1952. I am a fan of both actors. It's especially difficult to find films with Jack Larson in them other than the old 'Adventures of Superman' show mainly because he did 'Superman' at such a young age and then could not get acting work after that because of his being so recognized as 'Jimmy Olsen'. Jack Larson has a pretty good part in this movie. But this is a Leonard Nimoy vehicle and he does a very good job in it helped along by a good supporting cast. Anyway sometimes these obscure old films turn out to be gems and this is the case with "Kid Monk Baroni". The story is pretty good and so is the acting. The film is also well directed. The movie is about 80 minutes in length and moves at a nice pace. It also has several other recognizable cast members in it. By the way the quality of this DVD print is pretty good. Anyway, Mr. Spock and Jimmy olsen in the same movie, who knew. Check it out. You'll be glad ya did. I'm glad I did.
