      Audience Member Meandering MGM film can't make up its mind whether its a drama, a musical, or a film noir. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member new Orleans plays another character in this boxing tale set in the Big Easy. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member I expected more from a film directed by Raoul Walsh and staring Ralph Meeker as a down and out boxer who fine redemption with the help of his loyal girlfriend, Leslie Caron. It's a serviceable if unoriginal story, but the film unfolds in a pretty blah and uninvolving manner. Caron has some good song and dance numbers that bring sporadic life to the otherwise lifeless film. It's not terrible, but it should have been a whole lot better. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
