Summary:
Expecting the usual loss, a boxing manager takes bribes from a betting gangster without telling his fighter.
Genre(s):
Action, Sport, Crime, Film-Noir
Runtime:
73 min
To cop a phrase, it's a knockout. [05 Sep 1999, p.32C]
Only 72 minutes, in black and white, this is a small classic, directed by Robert Wise. [02 Jul 2000, p.17]
It's not a great movie, or even a very good one (it's rather mechanical), but it touches one's experience in a way that makes it hard to forget.
