About this product

Product Information

(1949) The first of three films starring Kirk Douglas on Channel 4 this week. Kirk plays boxer Midge Kelly in this tough, gritty film that opens as he steps into the ring to defend his world title, and then tells his rise to fame through flashback. A drifter with his brother Connie (Arthur Kennedy), his only way out of the poverty of the Depression is to climb into the ring, under the guidance of trainer Tommy Haley (Paul Stewart). But as he rises to the top, he tramples on everyone who's helped him, from Haley to his first wife Emma (Ruth Roman). He also gets mixed up with the Mob and, dangerously, Palmer Harris (Lola Albright), the wife of his new manager. His ruthlessness helps him eventually retain his title, but at a terrible cost.
