Lo sapevi?
- Quiz"Knockout" features a couple of actors who were former professional boxers. Noble 'Kid' Chissell was a lightweight with a record of 1-8-1 and played the punch-drunk Hawkins whom Johnny has an exchange with in the locker room before his first fight. Frank Riggi was a heavyweight with a record of 22-10-6 and played Monk Hanson, the fighter who Johnny faces at the end of the film. Riggi was also the boxer that John Garfield's character faced at the conclusion of "They Made Me a Criminal".
Recensione in evidenza
There are newspaper headlines aplenty in this Bryan Foy produced programmer, but Knockout remains an above average 'B' film that will satisfy bottom of the bill fanciers. Arthur Kennedy stars as Johnny Rocket, a talented young pugilist who's got his eye on a new bride and a new job at a gym. But crafty manager Harry Trego(Anthony Quinn) soon intercedes in an effort to keep Rocket's golden gloves performing in the ring. Nicely shot by Ted McCord, the film is at its best when Rocket's life hits bottom when he gets in over his head with the smart set and wife Olympe Bradna leaves him. Bradna, a Frenchwoman, is the film's weak link, as she's unable to contain her Parisian accent whilst trying to portray the first generation daughter of a Brooklyn-based Italian immigrant. If you can overlook her shortcomings, however, you'll find this a satisfying example of the lost art of 'B' grade filmmaking.
