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."

5 out of 5 stars Early Rocky Prototype.......2006-07-28

This film is in the rocky tradition of showing a small time boxer get his shot at the big time, despite long odds and teh corruption of the boxing world in general. This time around a young boxer's sister gets worried about him and tries to learn more aobut his life. There are some great boxing scenes in the film and you can see that stalone got some of his ideas for rocky from it. Overall a very fun movie to watch.

5 out of 5 stars I'm a willing buyer.......2006-05-03

''Only `Raging Bull' comes close to the realism and emotional undercurrents of `The Girl from Monterey'. This amazing old movie just proves that one CAN combine convincing ring action with intelligent acting. If A2ZCDS has anything else like this to offer, I'm a willing buyer''
