Featured review
Coke's addiction but not to coal....
That's not the best picture ever made about prize fighting, that's not THE SET UP, THE CHAMPION nor REQUIEM FOR A HEAVYWEIGHT, but better than SOMEONE UP THERE LIKES ME, which was largely overestimated. That said, Universal pictures offered us some other dramas with more or less the same atmosphere: THE SQUARE JUNGLE, starring Tony Curtis and WORLD IN MY CORNER starring this time Audie Murphy. This one presents Jeff Chandler directed by his fellow fetish pal Joseph Pevney, who was for Chandler what Anthony Mann was for Jimmy Stewart, Henry King for Gregory Peck or Richard Thorpe for Robert Taylor. Good gritty and efficient boxing story presented by a convincing producer Aaron Rosenberg and written by a western great specialist Borden Chase himself. What a surprise !!!! Besides this, Jeff Chandler shows one of his most surprising and impressive performances ever. Very ambivalent character for whom the audiences may feel empathy or not.
