Mike Lane
The Harder They Fall
Academy Award®-Winner Humphrey Bogart stars in one of his most memorable performances as Eddie Willis, a sportswriter who joins forces with a corrupt boxing promoter named Benko (Rod Steiger). Together, they scheme to deceive Toro Moreno (Mike Lane), a clumsy, seven-foot giant, and the public into believing Moreno has a shot at the heavyweight title. Through a carefully arranged series of fixed fights, Toro is duped into believing that he is a capable contender, only to have his dreams - and his huge body - shattered when he is brutally beaten in a genuine fight with the heavyweight champion. Jersey Joe Walcott appears as Moreno's trainer, with former boxing great Max Baer as the heavyweight champ. The Harder They Fall is an intriguing film in the tradition of Bogart classics.

Oscar®-vinner Humphrey Bogart har hovedrollen i én av hans mest minneverdige roller som Eddie Willis, en sportsjournalist som slår seg sammen med en korrupt boksepromotør kalt Benko (Rod Steiger). Sammen legger de planer for å lure Toro Moreno (Mike Lane), en klossete kjempe, og publikum til å tro at Moreno har sjansen til å ta en tungvektstittel. Under noen nøye arrangerte kamper lures Toro til å tro at han er en fullverdig motstander, men får sine drømmer - og sin store kropp - knust når han blir brutalt slått i en ekte kamp mot tungvektsmesteren. Jersey Joe Walcott spiller Morenos trener, sammen med tidligere bokser Max Baer som tungvektsmesteren. The Harder They Fall er en fengslende film i ekte Bogart-stil.
