A routine but interesting boxing movie with a pre greying Jeff Chandler aka Coke finally meeting up with his old friend an early Rock Hudson aka Speed in the ring.
Inadvertent comical names for the time.
The action isn't convincing, the actors don't have the look or moves that simulate a good boxer in later movies.
It does have a noir atmosphere that keeps you watching.
Jim Backus also has a role as a newspaper man turned manager.
I like seeing these 40s and 50s movies for the style and catching actors before they made it big.
Was hoping they'd made a sequel with boxers Crack and Meth getting in the ring with Coke.
No such luck.
