Dish of the Day
Just some film musings of a more succinct, spontaneous and sometimes seditious nature:
Tuesday, May 21, 2024
Currently available on Watch TCM (until May 23rd):
There have been quite a few movies centred around boxing over the years from 1937’s Kid Galahad to 2018’s Creed II with plenty of standouts in-between such as 1947’s Body and Soul, 1956’s Somebody Up There Likes Me, 1962’s Requiem for a Heavyweight, 1972’s Fat City and 1980’s Raging Bull. None of these, however, get as straight to the punchline as 1949’s knockout noir The Set-Up, previously reviewed here.
