Trivia:
John Huston initially wanted Marlon Brando to play the role of Tully. When Brando informed Huston repeatedly that he needed some more time to think about it, Huston finally came to the conclusion that the star wasn't really interested and looked out for another actor until he finally cast the then relatively unknown Stacy Keach.

This is a quite simply a brilliant film focussing on the skid row end ofboxing. Keach gives the performance of a lifetime as the punch drunk has-been and Jeff Bridges is perfect as the naive newcomer. The boxing scenes are so realistic it hurts - none of your Rocky histrionics here.
