The prizefighter is the real deal - real-Iife World Heavyweight Champion Max Baer in an acclaimed performance. The lady - she's the reaI deal, too: Myrna Loy, just before she shot to renown in The Thin Man. The movie is a two-fisted bruiser of a rags-to-riches fight story, as fast and stinging as a workout on the punching bag. W.S. Van Dyke directs this saga of a has-been fight manager (Walter Huston) who rebuiIds his career on the muscIed back of a sailor (Baer) with Iightning in his gIoves and mobster's molI (Loy) in his corner. The climactic scene pits Baer against then-reigning WorId Campion Primo Carnera (Baer wouId take his title the next year) in a thriII-packed fight refereed by ex-champ Jack Dempsey. |
