Staring: Charles Bronson
In new Orleans in the depression-hit thirties, a prizefighter and a promoter help each other.
Of sll the sports, boxing/fighting is probably the one that you come across most in the movies. And to be fair, they're often very good. This was gritty but realistic. Nice depiction of the time although I'm not sure that the poverty was completely conveyed. Bronson & Coburn were both terrific and this was an extremely watchable movie. 8/10
Starring: Dean Jagger
Customs agents track down a murderer.
Slow paced and poorly acted B movie. When a crucial part of the blot occured early on in the movie, the orchestral underscore was sl loud that you couldn't hear the dialogue. A couple of the female actresses came out of this with credit, mostly the lead's secretary, but this is not a movie to go out of your way for. 3/10
Starring: Harold Lloyd
A milkman becomes a prizefighter and overcomes a gang of crooks.
Sure, there are many annoying scenes in this movie. But there were also a few moments that made me laugh out loud. Lloyd is at his best with the physical theatre and certainly cut a humorous figure as the bespectacled prize-fighter. 4/10
