21. Noir Boxing Movies, with Steve Hunt
Description
Boxing features in more Hollywood movies than any other sport - and this was certainly true in the era of classic Film Noir. Where does this fascination come from - and how have Noir boxing movies rung the changes over the decades?
Sergio is joined by Steve Hunt, host of the superb Boxing Movie Podcast and author of the new book, Heavyweight Title Fights of the 1980s: A Complete History. Together they look at five of Steve's favourite noir boxing films.
KID GALAHAD (Curtiz, 1937)
THE SET-UP (Wise, 1949)
CHAMPION (Robson, 1949)
KILLER'S KISS (Kubrick, 1955)
THE HARDER THEY FALL (Robson, 1956)
