The Harder They Fall description Humphrey Bogart's final screen role was in this 1956 film by Mark Robson (Home of the Brave), about a cynical sportswriter who becomes a press agent and sees firsthand how badly boxers are used and manipulated by crooked managers. The story finds Bogart's character waffling about the ethics surrounding the exploitation of an overrated fighter who will earn money for his handlers in the short term, then be tossed onto the scrap heap. This is a very tough tale written by Budd Schulberg and shot with determined unromanticism; the boxing sequences are among the most striking and violent ever committed to film. Jan Sterling plays Bogart's wife, who watches him vacillate about whether to expose the fight syndicate as a racket. --Tom Keogh |

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Bogart took a slow boat to China! |
| "The harder they fall" is one of the bleakest films around the well known box underworld, genre that found a majuscule Ambassador in the emblematic film "Set up", directed by Robert Wise. On the other hand the dark and sinister ambiance assured it as one of the most potent Noirs ever made.
But also, this was the last performance of that mythical actor named Humphrey Bogart, who inspired by Paul Muni, inspired besides to so many actors of future generations like Lee Marvin, Al Pacino and Tim Roth among other ones. A fundamental issue on your collection. |
