	BBC - Films - review - Champion
		Like Martin Scorsese's " Raging Bull " of 1980, the leading character in "Champion" (made over 30 years earlier) is a boxer who is acclaimed in the ring for his skill and valour, yet in private life is an unprincipled bully ruthlessly trampling on and discarding those close to him.
		Carl Foreman's taut screenplay is more direct than that of the later film, not having the biographical constraint of having to follow a real life story, and Kirk Douglas's strong, confident performance, one of his earliest, propelled him into an Oscar nomination and stardom.
		Particularly horrifying is Kelly's confrontation with hired thugs after he has disobeyed his orders and knocked out a reigning champion who was supposed to have won the bout.

		"Champion" is the film that made Kirk Douglas a movie star.
		With his intense, expressive personality and his physique, he was perfectly cast as a middleweight boxer who wants to have it all: fame, fortune, respect, and whatever lady catches his eye.
		His motivation is not to keep the champion belt, but to silence the ringside announcers who have already counted him out.

	Champion Movie
		Things go his way and he starts making some big dough, but then he falls for a fast woman ("...he's got a new manager...a blonde.") and turns on those that helped bring him up from the gutter.
		Douglas' powerful performance and the fights are the highlight of the movie, but I also like Ruth Roman's eyes, very seductive.
		This movie represents Arthur Kennedy's most accessible performance as the humane, crippled brother representing the greek chorus reminding the main character of his morality.

	The Set-Up (1949) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Trivia: Robert Ryan was a boxing champion while a student at Dartmouth college.
		"The Set-Up" is one of the great boxing movies, using the sport as a metaphor for the illusory nature of the American Dream, with one of the screen's most realistic scraps, staged by John Indrisano.
		In the symbolically named Paradise City, "Stoker" Thompson and his wife stay at the sordid Hotel Cozy, and Julie cradles her husband under the neon sign of the Dreamland dance hall in the final scene.

	THE ASTOUNDING B MONSTER \| HORROR
		Val Lewton is justly remembered as a B film producer who revolutionized the industry's approach to horror movies.
		Legend holds that Lewton doused the lights in a crowded meeting room, and instructed his production staff to invest their projects with the same imagined demons that run rampant in the dark of people's minds.
		For those in tune with its languorously spooky tenor, the film's ending is still a kick in the stomach undiminished by one's exposure to subsequent, similarly-themed movies.

		The boxing scenes are realistic--in spite of Douglas' recent nose job, made during filming, preventing any of his sparring partners to hit anywhere near his schnozz.
		It's also interesting that the director, Mark Robson, was part of the Val Lewton school of horror directors (which also included Robert Wise), so makes excellent use with his cinematographer of light and shadow.
		All three of these are undeniable masterpieces that are often overshadowed by modern movies like "Raging Bull" & the "Rocky" series.
