The Harder They Fall centers on lengthy interviews with 21 celebrities who have hit rock bottom as a result of their addiction and risen to achieve success while in recovery.
Most, but not all, of the celebrities in the book reached peak stardom during the drug-induced 60s and 70s and are currently living lives of extraordinary accomplishment despite their battles with addiction.
They also inspire, as the celebrities humbly reveal how human and vulnerable they are by disclosing information about the depths of their despair and the joys of their recovery.

 THE CINEMA LASER DVD REVIEW-- THE HARDER THEY FALL   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
THE HARDER THEY FALL ($25) may have been screen legend Humphrey Bogart’s swan song, but the actor ended his career by delivering another potent performance.
In THE HARDER THEY FALL, Bogart portrays Eddie Willis, a respected sports writer who has had a turn of bad luck since his newspaper folded.
The opening credits appear framed at 1.66:1 and that may be a more appropriate aspect ratio for the film, although I did not notice and compromises in the picture’s composition during the rest of the movie.

 The Revealer: The Harder They Fall
He fell.” In the eyes of Luther and Calvin and the giants of the early Protestant Reformation, Adam’s fall had been so catastrophic that humanity, as Adam’s offspring, was left completely unable to do anything of divine merit.
But make no mistake: This fall was bought on by both the inability for evangelicals to engage both scripturally and culturally with sexuality, the deception that many good Christians live with in regards to their sexual orientation, and the deification of white masculinity.
It is the deification of white masculinity in evangelicalism that objectifies every other person who does not fit into the “traditional family paradigm” into the other: dark, repulsive, and evil.

A movie that proved a fine swansong for Humphrey Bogart, The Harder They Fall is a gripping drama set against a background of fixed boxing matches.
Though the scenes with Bogart and Steiger facing off are the strongest and a veritable masterclass of hardboiled characterisation, Mark Robson, who also helmed the Kirk Douglas boxing classic Champion (1949), directs with a convincingly dirty realism, the final punishing and bloody match a clear influence on Scorsese's Raging Bull (1980).
On the DVD: The Harder They Fall's anamorphic 1.77:1 transfer is excellent with only one brief scene showing any significant print damage.

Suddenly, like an invigorating breath of fresh air – clear, innovative and compelling, came "The Harder They Fall." Here was an uncompromising, brutally frank fight drama told in terms of the human viciousness of the game's promoters rather than in the stereotyped work of the fighter himself…
Physically Bogart's yet undetected illness was already beginning to take its toll… His voice was huskier than usual and his face was beginning to look extremely drawn and haggard on screen…
At the conclusion of this film, Bogart was signed to star in "The Good Shepherd," a British naval story set in World War II… He was not to begin it, or any of many other contemplated projects, and Mark Robson's "The Harder They Fall" remains as his final contribution to the screen…
