Editorial Review:
Product Description
Wallace Foxs predilection for directing movies whose plots centered on boxing is evident in this 1943 thriller in which leading lady Armida is caught between her loyalties to her brother and her boyfriend when they face each other in the ring to decide who would be the next middleweight champion. A2ZCDS have brought this old Hollywood Classic feature films on DVD. "Boxing has a charm all its own and director Wallace Fox has done a marvelous job of capturing some of it in this thrilling and romantic narrative. Armidas portrayal of a husky, age-and-experience toughened club singer has a true-life quality about it. Her Mexican accent and mannerisms provide some amusing moments amidst a tense drama. This classic feature film provides a brief yet fascinating peek into the world of boxing - the complex life of boxers and the influence of powerful promoters on the sport. Anthony Caruso and Terry Frost look their parts as professional middleweight boxers, and the bouts are captured in a realistic and imaginative manner. The unpredictable twist at the end leaves you suitably impressed with Wallace Foxs talents as director. This fascinating feature film from A2ZCDS provides a rare ringside view of the lives of boxers in a manner that is seldom witnessed on the screen."
