The Harder They Fall
In this gripping 1956 drama, a down-on-his-luck sportswriter, played by the legendary Humphrey Bogart in his final film role, becomes entangled in the corrupt world of boxing promotion. As he navigates the morally ambiguous landscape, he is forced to confront his own ethics and the exploitation of a naïve Argentine boxer. Directed by Mark Robson, the film offers a critical look at the darker side of the sports industry. While it did not win any major awards, it remains a significant piece of cinema history, partly due to Bogart’s powerful performance. For those interested, the movie can be viewed for free on Soap2day.
