Interesting cast in cliche-ridden boxing cheapie

This slap-happy prizefighting "epic" from cash-strapped Lippert Pictures boasts a moth-eaten plot lifted shamelessly from James Cagney's CITY FOR CONQUEST (pugilist brothers, one a concert pianist, the other blinded in the ring). Still, it does bear the distinction of being the only fight film ever to feature -- I kid you not -- narration by a talking boxing ring.

Casting-wise, there are some amusingly oddball points of interest: the ever-peppy Don "Red" Barry as a slugger turned virtuoso ivory tickler, Marcia Dean, aka Lippert's answer to Vera Rhuba Ralston, as an amorous nurse, Lyle "Find out what in hell it is that they want!" Talbot as a ringside announcer, and Borscht Belt "humorist" Joey Adams as a stogie-chomping cut man.
