    An under appreciated film. An expose of Boxing, in the days of Frankie Carbo and Blinky Palermo.

    It should be noted that Jersey Joe Walcott from this film wasn't just an ex-fighter but a former World Heavyweight Champion.

    The mobs control of boxing with that ape Frankie Carbo was real....just ask Jake Lamotta and for this film, Primo Carnera. As always Budd Schulbetg was a masterful writer.

      I used to work with a guy who's grandfather was a contender in the 50's named Irish Tommy Collins. Tommy was under contract to Rip Valenti here in Boston and Rip worked with Carbo. The only way Collins could get a title shot was to move up in weight. He moved up and was brutally beaten by Sandy Saddler.

    This was a bloody fantastic movie. I’ve been spreading the words about this super movie for years. Gosh I can almost feel the punches . Imagine being a journey boxer in those days with no backup plan or money to fall back on.

      And George, the guy in Toro's corner was Jersey Joe Walcott. He is described in the movie as "an old broken down warhorse", yet he had been Heavyweight champion four years before this film was made.

    Baer had a heart condition when this was filmed. It would cost him his life not long after. He and his brother Jack were gifted boxers. As noted below, Max was the HWT champion until he lost the title to Braddock. Jethro Bodine, from The Beverly Hillbillies, is his son. There are films of Baer in his prime on YT.

      Max Baer's brother's name was Buddy, not Jack and he lost the heavyweight title to James J. Braddock, not Craddock. Get your facts straight.

      Ok. Good enough. It's just that I'm an avid boxing fan and I hate it when people get things wrong. I admit I don't know everything, but I do know a lot. I give you credit for knowing Buddy Baer's full name. That's one of the few things I didn't know. Kudos to you on that.
