Such an arrangement is always embarrassing and never an inducement at the box office. Besides which, $10 Raise has no special pull in its cast. A clever portrait of a poor sap by Edward Evert Horton and some samples of exceptionally good screen writing are the assets, but not sufficient. ... On top of sending its punches by Postal Telegraph, the punches thus sent are few and far between, and these few bear little weight behind them. All in all, it is one of those 'nice' plctures intended as a pleasantry but resulting in 60 minutes of inconsequential celluloid."8 May 1935 $10 Raise 118 8 45 1475910599 Variety References External links Category:1935 American films Category:1935 comedy films Category:1935 English-language films Category:American black-and-white films Category:American comedy films Category:English-language comedy films Category:Films directed by George Marshall Category:Fox Film films
