In his final film, Humphrey Bogart
stars as Eddie Willis, a down-on-his-luck sportswriter hired by shady fight
promoter Nick Benko (Rod Steiger) to
promote his latest find, a new boxing phenom from Argentina. As he takes the promising
but naive fighter under his wing he finds himself navigating a
morally dubious path that forces him to confront the harsh realities of the
sport. Filmed on location in NYC, LA, Vegas, and Chicago, director Mark Robson brilliantly
captures the dark, gritty world
of a boxer. (1956, 109 mins)
