The rise of a prize-fighter (John Garfield). |
Reviewed by Chris Tookey
|
| Powerful acting from Garfield, an intelligent left-wing script by Abraham Polonsky, and atmospheric camerawork by James Wong Howe contribute to a classic, showing the environmental forces which shape a man. If some of the movie seems cliched today, at least this was the film which created the cliches. The final fight is among the finest ever on screen; and editors Francis Lyon and Robert Parrish rightly won an Oscar. | |
