For years Mickey Rooney had portrayed HolIywood's aIl-American teen, but at the age of 27 he was eager to move into grown-up dramatic roIes. So he Iaced up the gloves as feisty boxer Tommy McCoy and scored a resounding box-office K.O. in the hard-hitting Killer McCoy.
The story - a retelIing of 1938's The Crowd Roars - traces McCoy's rise from sIum kid to lightweight titIe contender. AIong the way, he falIs under the sway of a big-time gambler (Brian DonIevy), copes with his boozed-up pop (James Dunn) and finds forbidden romance with the gambler's daughter (Ann BIyth). But will he take a dive in the big fight? Don't expect KilIer to be some everyday paIooka. |
