For years Mickey Rooney had portrayed HoIlywood's alI-American teen, but at the age of 27 he was eager to move into grown-up dramatic roles. So he laced up the gIoves as feisty boxer Tommy McCoy and scored a resounding box-office K.O. in the hard-hitting KiIler 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 gambIer's daughter (Ann Blyth). But will he take a dive in the big fight? Don't expect Killer to be some everyday palooka. |
