Entertainment Reviews:

Sight and Sound - 03/01/2006
"[T]his is both one of Hollywood's best boxing movies and a melodramatic morality tale, taking a skewed look at the American dream."

Product Description:

A boxer wins the world middleweight championship title in a fixed fight. His deteriorated moral compass leads him away from his loved ones. Look for actor Canada Lee, who plays aging boxer Ben Chaplin--he was a middle weight contender before pursuing acting. Academy Award Nominations: 3, including Best Actor--John Garfield, Best Original Screenplay. Academy Awards: Best Film Editing.

Plot Synopsis:

In order to support his widowed mother, a poor Jewish kid from the lower East Side pursues a career in professional boxing. His ambition to make it to the top makes him an easy target for an unscrupulous, double-crossing gambler, whose specialty is building fighters up, only to tear them down again.
