Trama
Ex cronista sportivo si fa coinvolgere in un'impresa disonesta da un'organizzatore per lanciare un pugile con una serie di incontri combinati. Poi si pente. Ultimo film interpretato da H. Bogart (1899-1957) che aveva già firmato per girare The God Shepherd, ma non ebbe il tempo di farlo. Un quadro realistico dell'ambiente pugilistico senza concessioni sentimentali e romantiche. Sceneggiato da Philip Yordan sulla base di un romanzo di Budd Schulberg, liberamente ispirato alla vita di Primo Carnera.
