00:00:00You
00:00:30VIOLIN PLAYS
00:01:00VIOLIN PLAYS
00:01:30The last round's coming up. You're way behind.
00:01:37Graham's down there, you understand? You're making me look bad.
00:01:42I've seen better fights at the hockey games.
00:01:44What am I wasting my time here for?
00:01:46You're here so I can watch you. That way you'll stay in condition.
00:01:50Get us a drink. Root beer.
00:01:52Sure, Harry.
00:01:58Hello, Mr. Bernstein.
00:02:01Phone strikes.
00:02:06Remember, plenty of balance.
00:02:08Weave.
00:02:09All right, now, Parker. Get it.
00:02:14Get it.
00:02:15Come on.
00:02:16Come on.
00:02:18Get the one for it.
00:02:20Hey, boy.
00:02:22Hey, boy.
00:02:23Come on.
00:02:24Come on.
00:02:24Come on.
00:02:25Come on.
00:02:28Come on.
00:02:30Come on.
00:02:30Come on.
00:02:31Come on.
00:02:33Come on.
00:02:35Come on.
00:02:35Come on.
00:02:36Come on.
00:02:36Come on.
00:02:37Come on.
00:02:38Come on.
00:02:39Come on.
00:02:39Come on.
00:02:39Come on.
00:02:40Come on.
00:02:41Come on.
00:02:41Come on.
00:02:42Come on.
00:02:43Come on.
00:02:44Come on.
00:02:45Come on.
00:02:46Come on.
00:02:47Come on.
00:02:47Come on.
00:02:48Come on.
00:02:48Come on.
00:02:49Come on.
00:02:50We started to gas up.
00:03:01Where were we the first three rounds?
00:03:03Nothing for my head.
00:03:08I guess we struck out.
00:03:10Graham's leaving.
00:03:15Better look next time.
00:03:16Sure, I'll bring a gun to this school.
00:03:20Harry, when I saw you leaving, I thought...
00:03:25It's a long way over here.
00:03:26It's a long way back.
00:03:28The gas fumes in the tunnel make me sick,
00:03:30like you and this tramp of yours do.
00:03:33Hey, I don't like being called a tramp.
00:03:35I thought he'd make a better show.
00:03:37He was nervous because you were here.
00:03:39You'll be better next time, Harry.
00:03:41The name is Cram.
00:03:42Do yourself and me a favor.
00:03:44Forget it.
00:03:45Hey, where do you get off shoving people around?
00:03:50Your timing's off, boy.
00:03:53You're going to need a lot of experience.
00:03:56Come on.
00:04:00How are you, Dave?
00:04:02I thought you quit the business.
00:04:04It quit me.
00:04:06Look, Mr. Cram.
00:04:07I'm sorry to cause you all this trouble.
00:04:09But just give me a minute of your time.
00:04:11There's all sorts of ways I can fit into your setup.
00:04:13I got a little deal right in my own neighborhood.
00:04:20You keep taking punches like tonight
00:04:22and you won't have enough sense left to untie your shoes.
00:04:25What's it to you?
00:04:27Nothing.
00:04:28I'm against suicide, that's all.
00:04:31Hasn't anybody ever told you
00:04:32that you'll never get very far in the fight game
00:04:34bucking Harry Cram?
00:04:36You don't have to take that kind of gaffe to get anywhere.
00:04:38You can have it.
00:04:39Well, why'd you take this, Bob?
00:04:40Well, they improved my social status.
00:04:44Oh, broke, huh?
00:04:46That's what makes fighters good fighters.
00:04:48What they haven't got gets them started
00:04:50and what they're afraid of going back to
00:04:52keeps them in the ring.
00:04:53It ain't for fun.
00:04:55You can say that again.
00:04:56Who taught you to fight?
00:04:58Ray Casmery.
00:05:00He was a fighter himself.
00:05:02I know.
00:05:03Had a perfect record.
00:05:05Lost every fight.
00:05:07What happened tonight wasn't Ray's fault.
00:05:09I was just mistaken about one thing.
00:05:11Thinking I could be a fighter.
00:05:14Well, you could be.
00:05:16You could take a punch and you're game.
00:05:19And I got a feeling you could hit
00:05:21if you had learned right.
00:05:23I just learned from Parker.
00:05:27Yeah, you did a little better in that last round.
00:05:29How come?
00:05:31I don't know.
00:05:32Guess I felt bad about the way I looked in there.
00:05:35Like a bomb.
00:05:36Pride's a good thing in a fighter.
00:05:37Yeah, I can see where it would help
00:05:39if you can fight.
00:05:40But after tonight,
00:05:42I think I'll just forget about it.
00:05:44I'll tell you something.
00:05:46I never try to talk nobody into it.
00:05:48But I got this much sickness left in me.
00:05:51When I see a boy who looks like
00:05:52he might have something,
00:05:53I tell him.
00:05:54But I don't ask him
00:05:55that he should stay with fighting.
00:05:56That's up to him.
00:05:59You know what that's for?
00:06:01That was made for picking up things,
00:06:03not for hitting people.
00:06:04But if you've got to fight,
00:06:07do it the right way.
00:06:08If you ever see it that way,
00:06:32that's where you can find me.
00:06:35What are you doing, Tommy?
00:07:03I'm going back to no man's land, Benny.
00:07:07Huh?
00:07:08I just got laid off.
00:07:10Oh, that's too bad.
00:07:12Don't let it get you down.
00:07:14Things will get better.
00:07:16Yeah.
00:07:17I've been hearing that
00:07:18ever since I got out of the army.
00:07:19Work will come to you.
00:07:21You just got to be patient.
00:07:22That ain't easy on an empty stomach.
00:07:25Your old man made a good living
00:07:26in a tannery for a long time.
00:07:28Yeah.
00:07:29Long enough to work himself to death
00:07:30before he was 50.
00:07:32And for what?
00:07:33Even if he make a living,
00:07:34what's it for?
00:07:36So he can pay rent on a room
00:07:37in a lousy joint over there?
00:07:39Worm's eye view
00:07:40from the wrong side of the river.
00:07:43That ain't the way I want to live.
00:07:45Sure, Tommy.
00:07:46Say, does Dave Bernstein live here?
00:08:11Yes, you'll find him at the garage.
00:08:16Thanks.
00:08:46Anything I can do for you?
00:09:01I was looking for Dave Bernstein.
00:09:03He'll probably be back soon.
00:09:05I'll wait.
00:09:11What is it?
00:09:11Sure, a fancy trap.
00:09:13Would Bernstein get the loot?
00:09:16Well, he doesn't own it.
00:09:17Just works here.
00:09:20Who does own it?
00:09:21My name, Mallinson.
00:09:23Oh.
00:09:24You work for him, too, huh?
00:09:26Yeah.
00:09:27Yeah, you might say so.
00:09:29He must be a pretty nice guy
00:09:30to let you use all this equipment.
00:09:33Say, about all those places
00:09:35I saw on the way up here,
00:09:36like this one,
00:09:38where do they get it?
00:09:39Hmm?
00:09:39I mean, where do they heist
00:09:42the kind of money it takes?
00:09:44Some inherit it.
00:09:46Ever hear of the Mallinson ball bearings?
00:09:49Oh.
00:09:51So that's what did it.
00:09:55Little round pieces of steel.
00:09:56Mamma mia.
00:10:09Boy, she's got it, huh?
00:10:10She's pretty, isn't she?
00:10:13Man, I'd like to get close to that.
00:10:16Yeah, you give an impression.
00:10:18Where does she fit in the scenery?
00:10:21She's Mallinson's daughter.
00:10:2250,000 miles.
00:10:29What?
00:10:31A friend of mine always says that
00:10:33when something's a long way off
00:10:34and you haven't got a prayer
00:10:35of getting close to it.
00:10:36Your friend is right.
00:10:38Must be great having it made like this
00:10:40from the day you're born.
00:10:42She doesn't think so.
00:10:43She wants to be a writer.
00:10:45Works very hard at it.
00:10:47Her father even got her job
00:10:48in a newspaper.
00:10:50She's a bright girl.
00:10:51But she just can't seem to make it.
00:10:53You're breaking my heart.
00:10:55I know Dane went to work
00:10:56in a grocery store when she was 15.
00:10:59She's bright too,
00:11:00but if she loses her job,
00:11:01she can't worry about it
00:11:01in no swimming pool.
00:11:06Hello, Mr. Bernstein.
00:11:08Remember me?
00:11:09Tommy Shea.
00:11:10Sure I remember you.
00:11:12I've been thinking about what you said.
00:11:13I want to go on fighting
00:11:14and I want you to handle me.
00:11:16Yeah, well,
00:11:18when I talked to you the other night,
00:11:20I guess I got a little carried away.
00:11:22I shouldn't have said it.
00:11:24I'm out of the business.
00:11:26You told me to look you up.
00:11:27I know,
00:11:28but you better forget it.
00:11:29You'll be way ahead.
00:11:31Look, I came all the way.
00:11:32Sounds like good advice to me.
00:11:33Nobody asked you.
00:11:34Watch it, son.
00:11:35You don't look like a fighter.
00:11:36Who are you to know
00:11:40if I look like a fighter or not?
00:11:41Watch what you're saying.
00:11:43Sorry, Mr. Mallinson.
00:11:45Mallinson?
00:11:47Oh.
00:11:49Having yourself some fun, huh?
00:11:51I just didn't want to embarrass you.
00:11:52Yeah, okay, kid.
00:11:53There's just been a mistake all around.
00:11:55Sorry.
00:11:56Well, don't be.
00:11:57I'm sorry I stepped on your grass.
00:12:00If you were a little younger,
00:12:01I'd take a poke at you.
00:12:02Wait a minute.
00:12:05Would it make you feel any better
00:12:07to take that punch at me?
00:12:09You know something?
00:12:11It would.
00:12:13Get the gloves, Dave.
00:12:14Are you kidding, Mr. Mallinson?
00:12:16Yeah, drop it, Pop.
00:12:17You don't look like a fighter.
00:12:19Don't I?
00:12:21In college,
00:12:21I was intercollegiate boxing champ.
00:12:23I wanted to be a fighter.
00:12:25My coach talked me out of it.
00:12:27Said the first back alley tramp I fought
00:12:28had knocked me silly.
00:12:30I still think he was wrong.
00:12:32Get the gloves.
00:12:54Be careful, Mr. Mallinson.
00:12:56This kid gets rough when his pride's hurt.
00:12:58Don't worry.
00:12:59I can handle him.
00:13:02It's a good job.
00:13:03I can handle him.
00:13:04OK.
00:13:05Let's go.
00:13:36Your coach was right.
00:13:41What brought this home?
00:13:43So long, chick.
00:13:45Stick real close to your nice, soft nest.
00:13:48Shane!
00:13:50Where are you going?
00:13:51I'm going to invent a better ball bearing.
00:13:53Put you out of business.
00:13:58Shane!
00:13:59Come here.
00:14:06You still want to be a fighter?
00:14:08Yeah.
00:14:09But I ain't going to make it hanging around no fancy fairgrounds like this.
00:14:12You could be wrong.
00:14:14Mallinson wants me to train you.
00:14:16I'll bet he does.
00:14:17What's the gimmick this time?
00:14:18Why don't you stop yapping and listen?
00:14:20He wants you to stay here.
00:14:21He thinks you've got possibilities.
00:14:22You can do odd jobs around the place when you ain't working with me.
00:14:25I don't get it.
00:14:28First, I bailed him one, and all of a sudden, he comes up with a big brother act.
00:14:32What for?
00:14:32Well, that's his problem.
00:14:35Well, how about it?
00:14:36Well, okay.
00:14:42What have I got to lose?
00:14:45This might not be such bad a dress after all.
00:14:49Say, Miss Mallinson, I'm sorry about that little hassle upstairs.
00:14:53Don't be.
00:14:54Well, I ain't that sorry.
00:14:56You think you punched yourself into something pretty good, don't you?
00:14:59Luke, I didn't come out here to...
00:15:02What's scorching her?
00:15:04Come on, forget her.
00:15:07That may not be so easy.
00:15:08Now, look.
00:15:09Before we start anything, you keep your nose clean around here.
00:15:12If you want me to make a fighter out of you, you're going to do it my way.
00:15:16Okay.
00:15:17You're running the show.
00:15:20Now, fighting is the screw arm.
00:15:22Where's your hitting hand?
00:15:23Your left.
00:15:24All right, now we switch to orthodox, which is the way you're going to fight.
00:15:28Now, where's that hitting hand?
00:15:30Out front.
00:15:31Closer to your opponents.
00:15:32Simple as that.
00:15:33But instead of laying back, waiting for an opening, you're using it all the time.
00:15:37Jabbing.
00:15:38Hooking.
00:15:40Jab.
00:15:40Hook.
00:15:42Come on, come on.
00:15:44That's it.
00:15:45All right, left to the body, left to the head.
00:15:47Cross with your right.
00:15:49All right, all right.
00:15:54Keep your eyes on me.
00:15:55All right, fade with that left.
00:15:57Hook with it.
00:15:58Cross with your right.
00:15:59Again.
00:16:00Faster.
00:16:02Okay, move around and cool off.
00:16:08That orthodox stance looks better on you every day.
00:16:11Feels like I was born with it.
00:16:13I don't get it, Dave.
00:16:15Spend three months with me around, ain't you had a fight?
00:16:17When do we go?
00:16:18I feel like I'm ready.
00:16:21I could use a few bucks.
00:16:23You don't poke your nose out of here till I give the word.
00:16:26Too many kids are pushed too fast these days.
00:16:28That ain't gonna happen to you.
00:16:30Okay, get your shower, and then you better clean up them cars.
00:16:33Hiya, an old future.
00:16:39Great.
00:16:40Say, it's been a long time.
00:16:42Yeah.
00:16:43Graham's been keeping me pretty busy hopping around.
00:16:45How's it going with you?
00:16:46Fine.
00:16:47How come you found your way out here?
00:16:49I heard you was working as a flunky.
00:16:52Wondered how you liked it.
00:16:54Well, it's a start, anyway.
00:16:56It's still 50,000 miles.
00:16:58Look, I hate to see him mixed up with this Bernstein guy.
00:17:02You're wasting your time.
00:17:03Even I gave up when he was a fighter.
00:17:05He thinks I could be good.
00:17:06You've got to be better than good to get any place in the fight game.
00:17:10This is here for thinking.
00:17:11It ain't there to get knocked off.
00:17:14I've been in Cram's ear talking about you, chum, night and day.
00:17:17Buzzing him like a fly.
00:17:18He'll take you on.
00:17:20Doing what?
00:17:21Collecting from a few bookies like I've been doing.
00:17:23Later on, maybe he'll cut you into something big.
00:17:26No dice, Ray.
00:17:28I don't like Cram.
00:17:29You think I like him?
00:17:30He's got a personality like a lox.
00:17:33This world don't pay off unlike him.
00:17:35Now, here's the facts of life, Tommy.
00:17:37Cram will pay you a hundred a week.
00:17:40You know, I've got to make it my own way.
00:17:43Oh, Tommy, Tommy, why can't you tune me in?
00:17:53Garage?
00:17:53Miss Mallison would like her car at the front entrance right away.
00:17:57Be right up.
00:18:00See you in a minute.
00:18:00Well, I see you just washed it.
00:18:24Looks very nice.
00:18:25If I had one like it, I'd probably take it to bed with me.
00:18:28If you really care about such things, you'll probably get them.
00:18:32The only way I'm going to get a jalopy like this is when they turn it in for junk.
00:18:36Material things aren't really that important.
00:18:39They are where I come from.
00:18:41Well, have fun.
00:18:45Keep it under a hundred.
00:18:46Yikes!
00:18:51Who was that?
00:18:53The upstairs maid.
00:18:55Oh, sure, Mac.
00:18:56Now I know I haven't been getting any engraved invitations to come out here.
00:19:00How you doing with it?
00:19:03Haven't you got your sights set a little too high?
00:19:05Or does she let you splash around in her swimming pool?
00:19:08Come on.
00:19:08Give me the loadout.
00:19:09Oh, knock it off.
00:19:10Oh, but that's how it is.
00:19:12The princess and the pauper.
00:19:14It isn't anyway.
00:19:16So knock it off, Ray.
00:19:17Okay.
00:19:18It's worth wet nursing a bunch of heaps.
00:19:19Go ahead.
00:19:21When you come to your senses again, you look me up.
00:19:23I got a real girl for you.
00:19:25Drinks like there's no tomorrow.
00:19:27Lives like a skyrocket.
00:19:30Yeah, I'll remember.
00:19:32Well, see you around, huh?
00:19:35So long, no future.
00:19:40That's it.
00:20:01That's it.
00:20:03Come on, let's move.
00:20:04Get out, Ray.
00:20:06Get out.
00:20:07Isn't this something you submitted to a magazine?
00:20:15Mm-hmm.
00:20:16Well, aren't you curious?
00:20:18No. Obviously, they've sent it back.
00:20:22Self-pity. Deadliest enemy of success.
00:20:26Dad, please. I'm a little tired of platitudes.
00:20:31You know, Dorothy, I sometimes think the reason you haven't succeeded as a writer
00:20:35is because your standards and tastes aren't ordinary.
00:20:38They're like mine, very high.
00:20:40I'd just like something of mine accepted, that's all.
00:20:43I know. That's why I've tried to help you.
00:20:46Help me? You like things just as they are.
00:20:50But I've given you everything that you wanted.
00:20:51How could you know what I want?
00:20:54I'm just a possession like all the other things you own.
00:20:57A fixture on the Mallinson estate.
00:21:00All you care about is what you want me to be.
00:21:03You've never tried to know me, know who I am.
00:21:08Beg pardon, sir.
00:21:09This shave boy to see you.
00:21:11Come in.
00:21:16Yes? What do you want?
00:21:17I got some tickets for you.
00:21:19My fight tomorrow night.
00:21:20Going in my first main event against a pretty good boy.
00:21:22Thought you might like to go.
00:21:25Lake Sun?
00:21:26Yeah, Jersey.
00:21:27Stoods across the George Washington Bridge a few miles.
00:21:29I'm afraid that's a bit too far.
00:21:32I'll come to see you when you fight New York.
00:21:34If you're ever good enough to make it.
00:21:37I'll make him.
00:21:45I'm sorry.
00:21:47Don't be.
00:21:47It's not often I have a chance to get a lesson from somebody with real class.
00:21:51But he'll do the same thing to you again.
00:21:54I won't put myself in the same spot again.
00:21:56Then you'll leave him?
00:22:00What is it with you?
00:22:01Ever since I first came here, you've been trying to give me the evil.
00:22:04Always telling me to get out.
00:22:05Why is it so important to you?
00:22:08Never mind.
00:22:09Forget it.
00:22:10I will.
00:22:12The old man's given me the chance to do what I want to do.
00:22:16Besides, I like the view.
00:22:19It isn't often somebody like me gets close enough to even look.
00:22:22I've got a ringside seat next to the things money can buy.
00:22:27You think that's everything?
00:22:28Money?
00:22:29It's number one with me.
00:22:31Maybe with enough of it, I can buy a girl like you.
00:22:33Pretty, stuck up.
00:22:37Someone without the fear of going hungry in her eyes.
00:22:40Yeah, that's what I want.
00:22:43I just ain't got the price on the tag.
00:22:45Okay.
00:23:03Hey, what do you think, Harry?
00:23:15Did I tell you my boy was a comer?
00:23:17Was I right?
00:23:18Yeah, sometimes that gab of yours makes sense.
00:23:20I should have listened to you.
00:23:21Should have listened to myself.
00:23:22I'm still on it.
00:23:23I'm still on it.
00:23:53fight myself.
00:23:58Remember what I told you.
00:23:59Box him. Stay away from him. Watch that eye.
00:24:02Come on, boy.
00:24:03Watch out.
00:24:05Keep pushing. Stay away from him.
00:24:08Stay away from him. Down below.
00:24:09Come on.
00:24:11Keep pushing.
00:24:13Right at the top.
00:24:23Break. Step back.
00:24:37Come on. Stop. Come on.
00:24:48Finish or tie.
00:24:53If you listen to me, you wouldn't have got that eye, Chopka.
00:25:15You gotta expect a few cuts.
00:25:17Not if you fight the way I tell you to.
00:25:21Hello, no future.
00:25:23Hi, Ray. What are you doing out of your ivory penthouse?
00:25:26I'm slumming.
00:25:27Hey, the word is out on you, Tommy.
00:25:29The word is good.
00:25:30Cram and me just saw the fight.
00:25:32That guy was no pushover.
00:25:34You look great.
00:25:35No, I haven't come in long.
00:25:36Coming along?
00:25:38You arrived.
00:25:39That's why I've been waiting on your doorstep like an orphan.
00:25:41I want to be taken in.
00:25:43Why don't you go back to that pool room and slide down a cue stick?
00:25:48Let's go over the dock.
00:25:49Take another look at that eye.
00:25:51Hey, Bernstein, wait a minute.
00:25:52I came down here to talk to you.
00:25:55Now, let's sit down and have a little meet.
00:25:57What about?
00:25:59About him.
00:26:00My fighter.
00:26:01Your fighter?
00:26:02I'm still his manager, ain't I?
00:26:04I figure I ought to be cut in for at least 50%.
00:26:07Don't pay no attention to him, Dave.
00:26:12But he can't rule out a guy for trying.
00:26:14You know, Tommy, it's just that I want to see you make it to the top.
00:26:17We'll make it.
00:26:20Where?
00:26:21I ain't been catching any of your fights on a coast-to-coast hookup.
00:26:25You can't get nowhere scrounging around for nickels and dimes in the sticks like this.
00:26:29Without Cram, the New York crowd and TV, you might as well be fighting in a closet.
00:26:34True or false?
00:26:35I ain't doing business with Cram.
00:26:38You should.
00:26:39Look what he's done for Al Corelli.
00:26:41After he beats Steve Lynn, he'll get a crack at the title.
00:26:45Forget it, Ray.
00:26:46You know how I feel about Cram.
00:26:47Okay, so you do business with me.
00:26:51I'm in like a rivet with that New York bunch.
00:26:53I can get you any kind of deal you want to make.
00:26:56With Bernstein, you're still 50,000 miles away.
00:26:59With me, it's easy money.
00:27:02The kind of living that quiets the nerves.
00:27:05Don't try it the hard way.
00:27:09This is how I looked at, Dave.
00:27:15I better put her car away.
00:27:16You want to take this for me?
00:27:18Okay.
00:27:19You sleep late in the morning, huh?
00:27:22Yeah.
00:27:28You going out again?
00:27:29No.
00:27:30Are you all right?
00:27:31Sure, I won.
00:27:33But your eye, it looks terrible.
00:27:35I had it changed.
00:27:36I didn't think you liked it the way it was before.
00:27:39May I ask you something?
00:27:41Sure, go ahead.
00:27:43Why do you fight?
00:27:44You're not asking me something.
00:27:48You're asking me everything.
00:27:51Besides, this ain't a night for a life story.
00:27:55You're right.
00:27:56It's none of my business.
00:28:01Hey, wait a minute.
00:28:02I had no right to talk to you like that.
00:28:15I'm sorry.
00:28:17I'm going to let you in on a state secret.
00:28:19Tell you why I fight.
00:28:22I do it for money.
00:28:23They're brutal.
00:28:25And senseless.
00:28:26It makes me sick to watch them.
00:28:27You and that other fight are pounding each other and bleeding and hitting each other like animals.
00:28:33You saw me fight tonight?
00:28:38So your old man took you to the zoo to see the animals, as you call us, huh?
00:28:41I would by myself.
00:28:45Why?
00:28:48Come on, tell me why.
00:28:50I don't know.
00:28:52Then I'll tell you something.
00:28:56I like you, too.
00:28:59How do you like that coming from a tramp fighter?
00:29:06What are you crying about?
00:29:07I'm sorry.
00:29:12Don't be.
00:29:14Yeah, you didn't make the world.
00:29:17I did.
00:29:19Stuck it together with spit and glue.
00:29:23That's better.
00:29:25Besides, you shouldn't waste your time worrying about guys like me.
00:29:30Why?
00:29:33Why?
00:29:33All you can say is why, like a little girl.
00:29:41I don't know the words to tell you why.
00:29:45I guess I gotta show you.
00:29:48Come on.
00:29:48Come on.
00:29:49It's beautiful, Tommy.
00:30:09You're looking the wrong way.
00:30:10Look over there.
00:30:14No matter where I am, every time I close my eyes, that's what I see.
00:30:18Picturesque, I think they call it.
00:30:20Except you won't ever see it in a travel log, because they don't take pictures of that kind of life.
00:30:25And it smells.
00:30:28They're special when the wind's right from the river.
00:30:30But it's more than what you smell and see.
00:30:35It's what living there does to you.
00:30:38Makes you fight to just barely stay alive.
00:30:41All the time wondering if it's worth it.
00:30:44I wish I could write the way you talk.
00:30:47It's easy.
00:30:49All you have to do is be born in a dump, educated in an alley.
00:30:52I learned you.
00:30:57I know, I know.
00:30:58It's teach.
00:31:01Do you know something?
00:31:03Speaking correctly, it doesn't go with me.
00:31:07I feel strange.
00:31:08Like I feel when I'm in your living room.
00:31:12The way I feel every time I look at you.
00:31:17It's like all the other things I'm not entitled to.
00:31:20Well, I think you're entitled to anything you want.
00:31:26Whether I am or not, I'm never coming back to the nothingness here.
00:31:31Even if I have to beat everybody's brains in it.
00:31:33I have to crowd the whole world in my corner and build it right on the chin.
00:31:36Tommy.
00:31:37Tommy.
00:31:37Tommy.
00:31:50Come on, let's get out of here.
00:31:56Tommy.
00:31:58There are some things I want to tell you.
00:32:02About me.
00:32:03About my mother.
00:32:06She's in a sanitarium.
00:32:09She's an alcoholic.
00:32:11My father put her there.
00:32:13He destroyed her.
00:32:17The way he destroys everything that doesn't fit the mallets and mold.
00:32:20The way he's going to destroy you if you let him.
00:32:24Hey, take it easy.
00:32:26Tommy.
00:32:28Take me away with you.
00:32:29Away anywhere.
00:32:32Dorothy.
00:32:33Dorothy, I can't.
00:32:34I can't support you.
00:32:36Tommy, please.
00:32:37Look, I'm going to get dough.
00:32:41A lot of money.
00:32:43I'm going to try to get it fast.
00:32:46You've got to give me a little time.
00:33:00Come in.
00:33:05Is Ray Casmerich here?
00:33:07Sure.
00:33:08Come on and find yourself some trouble.
00:33:11I didn't know he was having a party.
00:33:13Maybe I'd better come back.
00:33:14Relax.
00:33:15It's real friendly in here.
00:33:17Tommy.
00:33:20I'm Doris Randall.
00:33:21You got a last name, Tommy?
00:33:23Tommy, I'm sure glad to see you.
00:33:25Hey, maybe I'd better come back another time.
00:33:26I wanted to talk to you about him.
00:33:27Are you kidding?
00:33:28Why, you couldn't have picked a better time.
00:33:29I'm having a little bash in here.
00:33:31Come on, I want you to meet some of these buffaloes.
00:33:32You can start right here.
00:33:33I couldn't get any further than his first name.
00:33:36Look, I wanted to talk to you alone.
00:33:37I wish you'd said that to me.
00:33:39Oh, later, Doris.
00:33:40Go play in that traffic over there.
00:33:42Before you go, look for me.
00:33:44I'll be under one of the rugs.
00:33:45It's quite a place you've got here.
00:33:52Yeah, not a bad mousetrap, huh?
00:33:54I've been catching pretty good lately.
00:33:56Yeah, I noticed.
00:33:58What's your problem, chum?
00:34:01I need money, Ray.
00:34:03Sure.
00:34:04Door's open.
00:34:05How much?
00:34:05No, this ain't a touch.
00:34:07I've got to get into big money.
00:34:09Well, I want to talk to you about getting some fights in New York.
00:34:13Now you are talking.
00:34:15You going to dump Bernstein?
00:34:16No, I'm not.
00:34:18I don't want any setups.
00:34:20Nothing phony.
00:34:21I won't play in the dirt.
00:34:24Okay.
00:34:25Why not?
00:34:27We'll play at straights.
00:34:29Your worries are over, no future.
00:34:30You just let me handle your case from now on in.
00:34:32I'll come up with a match for you.
00:34:34It'll be like old times, Tommy.
00:34:36You and me together again, the way we'd always planned.
00:34:44Gentlemen!
00:34:45Glad you dropped in, Ray.
00:34:46You able to spare the time?
00:34:48For you, Harry?
00:34:49Always.
00:34:50Don't make jokes, Kazmary.
00:34:51I had a big breakfast.
00:34:53It isn't settled yet.
00:34:55I hear you've been making a few connections on your own.
00:34:58Playing it a little sneaky.
00:35:01Maybe you forgot.
00:35:03You're supposed to be working for me.
00:35:04I've just been building up a few contacts, Harry.
00:35:07Those contacts have been putting money in your pocket, not mine.
00:35:11You've been hearing wrong.
00:35:12Look, I got a good deal for you.
00:35:14Lock the safe, boys.
00:35:16You've been looking for a tune-up fight for Al here.
00:35:18I got a good boy.
00:35:19Tommy Shea.
00:35:22You saw him fight in Jersey.
00:35:24Remember?
00:35:25And we can get him cheap.
00:35:27Under five grand.
00:35:28He ain't nothing.
00:35:29You're wrong, Al.
00:35:30He's developed into real class.
00:35:32Harry, he's just what you need.
00:35:34The TV crowd's crying for new faces.
00:35:36Tommy's got color.
00:35:37He's loaded with personality.
00:35:39Why don't you talk to the theater guild?
00:35:41No, wait a minute, Al.
00:35:42That kid wasn't bad.
00:35:44Is he willing to play along?
00:35:47Why, sure, Harry.
00:35:48Would I come to you with a guy who didn't want to go along?
00:35:51He belongs to Bernstein, doesn't he?
00:35:52Look, he's fed up with Bernstein.
00:35:54He needs the dough.
00:35:56He came to me.
00:35:57It's got to be a nice, easy win for Al.
00:36:01Why all the steam over a clown like that?
00:36:03Because I can't risk getting you cut up before the title fight.
00:36:06Now, look.
00:36:07If I give you this goal, I don't want any of your fast shuffles.
00:36:12Why, of course not, Harry.
00:36:14This kid will do anything I tell him to.
00:36:16Hey, break it up.
00:36:31Break it up.
00:36:32Lightning just struck.
00:36:37Will you hear?
00:36:38You'll be picking your eyes up off the floor.
00:36:39I got you a match.
00:36:41Since when have you had anything to say about our fights?
00:36:44Didn't you tell him?
00:36:46Tell me what?
00:36:48Dave, I went to see Ray because I've got to have some bigger bouts.
00:36:51I'm getting off this train right now.
00:36:53What am I?
00:36:54Some sort of snake fight?
00:36:56I got a great fight for you.
00:36:57Al Corelli.
00:36:58What do you think of that?
00:36:59I think that's great.
00:37:00Corelli?
00:37:01Yeah.
00:37:02He's looking for a tune-up go before he fights Lynn for the title.
00:37:04Wait a minute.
00:37:05Corelli's rough.
00:37:06Tommy can't beat him.
00:37:07Who says he's going to beat him?
00:37:09What?
00:37:10Not right now, anyway, Tommy.
00:37:12Cram don't think so, either.
00:37:13But there's five grand begging to be introduced to you.
00:37:16For doing what?
00:37:17Going in the tank, huh?
00:37:18Now, hold on, Dave.
00:37:19You know I wouldn't go for a deal like that.
00:37:20This fight's on their level.
00:37:22I told Ray that even before he went to see Cram.
00:37:25I need you with me, Dave.
00:37:26Why, sure he does.
00:37:28If Tommy makes a good showing, we're on our way.
00:37:30We'll have every sports writer in the country raving him up.
00:37:33I want this bout, Dave.
00:37:35I need the money.
00:37:36I need it bad.
00:37:37Well, I should have better sense.
00:37:40Maybe a weapon will learn you a few things.
00:37:47Don't forget, Corelli's cute.
00:37:50In close, he's dirty.
00:37:51He'll butt, hit low, anything he can get away with.
00:37:54Okay, Dave.
00:37:56I wonder where Ray is.
00:37:57You just worry about Corelli.
00:37:59You let him lead to you.
00:38:01Keep that left hook working.
00:38:05Look, Cram, we're kind of busy in here.
00:38:07Relax.
00:38:07I just dropped in to wish you luck.
00:38:09You got nothing to worry about, kid.
00:38:10Nobody's going to get hurt.
00:38:12Al's going to let you make a good showing tonight.
00:38:14He's going to let me.
00:38:16He's talking about a fix.
00:38:17I can smell it from here to Canarsie.
00:38:20Wait a minute.
00:38:21You mean Kazmieric didn't tell you?
00:38:23I don't throw fights for nobody, Cram.
00:38:26You better go along with us, kid.
00:38:28You go tell Corelli this ain't going to be no waltz.
00:38:31Beat it.
00:38:32Okay.
00:38:34Even if you live through it.
00:38:35You'll never get another fight in this town.
00:38:36We'll talk about that after the fight, Cram.
00:38:39I got a boy this time that's straight all the way.
00:38:41You're not going to muzzle in on him like you did on this money-hungry ape.
00:38:44Now get out!
00:38:53Was Stretch one of your boys?
00:38:54Yeah.
00:38:55I built him into a champion.
00:38:57Then Cram got his hands on him, took him away from me, and he wound up dripping with scum.
00:39:03I've been waiting a long time to square things with Cram.
00:39:08Maybe I can help.
00:39:10I think I can take Corelli for you, Dave.
00:39:12I think he can, too, now, Tommy.
00:39:16If he was expecting a fix, he probably won't be in top shape to go to him.
00:39:19So he'll probably try to put you away in a hurry.
00:39:22So you just stay out of trouble for the first few rounds, work on him downstairs, soften him up.
00:39:28You know the rules, boys.
00:39:30You got your instructions from the commission this afternoon.
00:39:32I want a good, clean fight.
00:39:34Shake hands now.
00:39:35Come out fighting.
00:39:36I didn't know you were interested in boxing.
00:39:40Oh, it's Shea.
00:39:42Don't be a headhunter.
00:39:50Bang away at that body.
00:39:51Come on, Shea, let's go.
00:39:58Come on.
00:40:04Come on.
00:40:05Come on.
00:40:07You want to go home early, boy?
00:40:26Avoid the traffic.
00:40:27Get back there.
00:40:28Take, break your head, Christians.
00:40:29Come on, let's go.
00:40:34Come on.
00:40:35Go, roll.
00:40:36Let's go.
00:40:45Come on.
00:40:46Go, roll.
00:40:48Come on.
00:40:49Come on.
00:40:49Come on.
00:40:49Come on.
00:40:50Come on.
00:40:50Let's go.
00:40:50Come on.
00:40:51Come on.
00:40:52Come on.
00:40:52Come on.
00:40:53Come on.
00:40:53That's why.
00:40:54Jeremy過htar.
00:40:54Go, go.
00:40:54All good. Don't trade punches with them. Not yet.
00:41:15Okay.
00:41:24Well, we're moving into the fourth round. Corelli has been doing most of the scoring, forcing the fight so far.
00:41:35Shea has given us only occasional flurries, and most of his attack has been to the body.
00:41:40How about it, Dave? Can I make the move now?
00:41:42No. Keep working on that belly. I'll tell you when I'm ready.
00:41:45If he keeps on clobbering me, I may not be around when you're ready.
00:41:54You ain't gonna be pretty, son, boy.
00:42:06Shut up. You better lie down and go to sleep.
00:42:15Get away! Get away! Don't mix!
00:42:24One, two, three, four, five, one, six, seven, eight, all right.
00:42:43Break it out!
00:42:48Thanks.
00:42:54Don't you hear me? Don't stand and punch with him. Not till I tell you.
00:43:11Well, he keeps shooting off his face. I don't like it.
00:43:14Don't play a sucker.
00:43:16If you lose your head, he'll chop you to bits.
00:43:18Come on!
00:43:34Come on!
00:43:40Come on!
00:43:41Get it!
00:43:42Get it!
00:43:42Get it!
00:43:44Get it!
00:43:44The eighth round's coming.
00:43:58You better get him in a hurry.
00:43:59I'm willing. Go tell him.
00:44:13He's ready.
00:44:14Go out and get him.
00:44:15Go out and get him.
00:44:16Go out and get him.
00:44:19Come out.
00:44:20Go out and get him.
00:44:22Come on out, baby.
00:44:26Come on, come on!
00:44:56One, two, three, four, seven.
00:45:06Five, six, seven, eight, six, seven.
00:45:36You got him hurt. Keep on top of him.
00:46:06Get him out.
00:46:13Get him out.
00:46:20Get him out.
00:46:26Get him out.
00:46:32Come on.
00:47:02What do you say, Al? Let's get rid of him.
00:47:05You got any poison?
00:47:32Get him.
00:47:33Get him.
00:47:35Get him.
00:47:38Get in there.
00:47:43Get him.
00:47:49Get him.
00:47:50Get him.
00:47:53I'm out!
00:48:23I'm out!
00:48:53Everybody, we had a real good fight, and if you joined us a bit late tonight, just to bring you up to date, Tommy Shea was knocked to the canvas in the fourth round, and Al Corelli was knocked down in round number eight.
00:49:04Corelli was the aggressor most of the way, but Tommy Shea landed the better body blows.
00:49:09Now let's get up to the ring announcer, Jimmy Lennon, and get the official decision.
00:49:12All right, Jim, take it.
00:49:13Your attention, please.
00:49:16Judge Artie Ross scores at five rounds for Corelli, four rounds for Shea, one round even.
00:49:25Judge Mike Shore sees at five rounds for Shea, three rounds for Corelli, and two rounds even.
00:49:38Referee Mel Leonard scores at five, four, and one even in favor of the winner by majority vote, Tommy Shea.
00:49:51Well, looks like I picked another winner.
00:50:07Tommy!
00:50:08What happened to you?
00:50:11He's got a nerve showing even a face like that around here.
00:50:14Come on, what did happen to you?
00:50:16Cram's boys worked me over, but don't worry about that.
00:50:18I'm okay.
00:50:19Tommy, I tell you we're in.
00:50:21You made a great showing.
00:50:23We're on our way, chum.
00:50:24Well, I don't like your way, Kazmarek.
00:50:27Yeah, Ray.
00:50:28Why didn't you tell us?
00:50:29You knew I wouldn't go for Cram's set-up.
00:50:31That's right.
00:50:32I figured if nobody knew, you had a chance to beat Corelli, which you did.
00:50:36I set it up for you.
00:50:38Cram had it figured right.
00:50:39You were giving him the whammy.
00:50:41Look who's worried about Cram.
00:50:43And the looks of you, you ought to be.
00:50:44That's not what's worrying me.
00:50:46I'm just wondering when you're going to sell us down the river.
00:50:49Tommy?
00:50:50Never.
00:50:51We've been chums too long.
00:50:53It'd be like stealing from myself.
00:50:56You'd do that, too, if you could figure an angle.
00:50:58All right, all right.
00:51:00Quit hollering on me.
00:51:03Come in.
00:51:05Great fight, Shade.
00:51:06Did it go the way you planned it, or you think it was a fluke?
00:51:08Why, of course it was planned.
00:51:10And we'll hand Corelli the same thing any time he steps into the ring with us.
00:51:13Looks like you got into the ring with him.
00:51:15Yeah, who'd you fight tonight?
00:51:17I had a slight accident on the way to the fight.
00:51:19Yeah, we all had an accident the day he was born.
00:51:22Never mind about me.
00:51:24Listen, there's a great story in this boy.
00:51:26A real Cinderella angle.
00:51:28He's been fighting to better himself ever since he was a kid in Jersey.
00:51:31Six months ago, he comes back from the Army in Korea.
00:51:33Goes back to the fight racket.
00:51:35Fighting clean, but not getting any of the breaks.
00:51:38Then he's discovered in the ring by a millionaire named Mallison.
00:51:41Robert T. Mallison.
00:51:43Mallison's ball bearings, that one?
00:51:44That's the one.
00:51:46He takes Tommy here, right out to his Long Island estate.
00:51:48Tommy's been training there ever since.
00:51:50In secret.
00:51:51Not a bad yarn.
00:51:53If it's true...
00:51:54Check it.
00:51:54This is a real rags to riches bit.
00:51:56From out of nowhere.
00:51:57Bang!
00:51:58He knocks over the top contender in his class.
00:52:01Now, he's ready for the champion.
00:52:04All right, boys.
00:52:04That's all.
00:52:05We got work to do here.
00:52:07Hey, write it up good, huh, fellas?
00:52:08Yeah, yeah.
00:52:08Lots of color, you know.
00:52:11Hi.
00:52:11Morning.
00:52:13Morning.
00:52:14It's almost noon.
00:52:16After the fight last night, I'm surprised you can even move.
00:52:19I did forget to duck a couple of times, didn't I?
00:52:20Oh, Tommy, I'm awfully glad you won.
00:52:24Oh, say.
00:52:26I just happened to have a couple of theater tickets.
00:52:29To a musical.
00:52:30Here it's very good, too.
00:52:32Well, I mean, I'm not going to be able to use them.
00:52:34I thought you might like to go.
00:52:36Well, thanks.
00:52:38I've been wanting to see this.
00:52:40Who are you planning on taking?
00:52:42Well, maybe I'll take a polo player.
00:52:46Perhaps a fighter I have in mind.
00:52:48You take the fighter.
00:52:50You look better with the down-to-earth types.
00:52:52Perhaps that's yours.
00:53:07Good evening, Mr. Malice.
00:53:09Oh, hello, Tommy.
00:53:10North, you'll be right down.
00:53:12I've just been reading about you and myself.
00:53:17Wealthy Long Islander develops fistic protégé.
00:53:20I'm sorry about that, sir.
00:53:21You see, this friend of mine told him all this stuff.
00:53:23And if I'd known he was going to...
00:53:24Quite all right.
00:53:26In fact, I contributed a few of these lurid details.
00:53:29I was ambushed by reporters when I went to luncheon at the club today.
00:53:33I can sure ask a lot of questions.
00:53:35I saw the Corelli fight last night.
00:53:38You looked very good.
00:53:40Thank you, sir.
00:53:41Sports writers are saying you've got the makings of a champion.
00:53:44Well, Dave's done most of it.
00:53:45No, I don't think so.
00:53:47You know, Tommy, my attitude toward you up until now must have seemed strange at times.
00:53:52Like my refusing to see your early fights.
00:53:54Unforgivable.
00:53:55I had not a reason.
00:53:57But you see, if I'd been patronizing toward you, I might have robbed you of your incentive.
00:54:01This way, stinging you on occasion was healthy.
00:54:03What you've accomplished, you've done on your own.
00:54:05You should be quite proud of that.
00:54:07I hope you're going to stay on here.
00:54:09Oh, thank you, sir.
00:54:10So far, it's worked out fine.
00:54:12Good.
00:54:14Sit down, Tommy.
00:54:21I'd like to talk to you about Dorothy.
00:54:25She's in love with you, you know.
00:54:27Well, you needn't look so surprised.
00:54:29I've noticed things, seen you two together.
00:54:32Are you in love with her?
00:54:35Yes, I am.
00:54:37I suppose you've thought about asking her to marry you.
00:54:40I can't afford to right now.
00:54:43Well, that's realistic.
00:54:45Dorothy's very naive about money.
00:54:47She thinks she can live without the things that I've tried to give her.
00:54:51But there are other problems.
00:54:53You two are from completely different worlds.
00:54:57Not that that's insurmountable.
00:54:59No, people change and grow intellectually, and I'd like to help you.
00:55:02Well, that is, if you don't mind.
00:55:05Mind?
00:55:06Why should I?
00:55:08Good evening.
00:55:10Oh, ready?
00:55:12Oh, you look beautiful tonight, dear.
00:55:14New dress.
00:55:16Pretty, isn't it?
00:55:17Sure is.
00:55:18Well, shall we go?
00:55:21Good night, sir.
00:55:23Good night.
00:55:23What are you doing?
00:55:28We're out there in left field.
00:55:30Come over here.
00:55:35That's better.
00:55:37I've got a message for you.
00:55:42There.
00:55:42Delivered.
00:55:44What were you and my father talking about?
00:55:46I've got another message.
00:55:50The old man's in our corner.
00:55:53I don't want him there.
00:55:54Look, what do you say you let me do the worrying, huh?
00:55:58You're playing right into his hands.
00:56:00He doesn't want us to stay together.
00:56:03That's not what he said.
00:56:05He thinks I'm right for you.
00:56:07So do I.
00:56:09You are now.
00:56:11You're strong, and you believe in yourself.
00:56:14That's one of the things I like most about you.
00:56:16You're able to fight for what you want.
00:56:19Tommy, my father isn't what he seems to be.
00:56:22He doesn't give.
00:56:23He takes.
00:56:24He'll try to run your life.
00:56:26Fit you into his pattern.
00:56:27Polish off the rough edges.
00:56:29And when he's through, there'll be nothing inside.
00:56:31Nothing left to fight with or for.
00:56:35I want you just as you are now.
00:56:37I'm not going to change.
00:56:38Tommy, listen.
00:56:40Look, I'll keep an eye on him in the clutches.
00:56:42Okay?
00:56:44Come on.
00:56:44Come on.
00:56:53Man, some cubby hole, huh, Dave?
00:56:57Of course, I'm used to a lot better.
00:56:59Yeah.
00:57:03Hey, the floor doesn't creak.
00:57:07Boy, Mallison certainly rolled out the carpet.
00:57:09No place for a hungry fighter who wants to keep on winning.
00:57:14Don't worry.
00:57:15I'm still hungry.
00:57:17My dough.
00:57:18You never get nothing for nothing, Tommy.
00:57:20Huh?
00:57:22Nothing.
00:57:22Looks like Karelli all the way.
00:57:40Sure looks good.
00:57:41You could take him again, Tommy.
00:57:43I bet my last dollar.
00:57:44Oh, you should have been in there tonight instead of Karelli.
00:57:59The sportswriters think you're entitled to a shot at the championship.
00:58:01They've been playing you up big.
00:58:03Sportswriters don't sign contracts.
00:58:06Yeah.
00:58:07If you haven't got Karelli's name on a piece of paper, they ain't no match.
00:58:10Well, why don't you talk to Karelli, Dave?
00:58:12Isn't there some kind of deal you could make?
00:58:14Huh.
00:58:14I had my belly full of his kind of deals.
00:58:18Well, uh, what sort of plans do you have for Tommy?
00:58:22Well, like I told him, I think we should go on the road, take fights all over the country.
00:58:26Tommy builds up a big enough following, Karelli will be forced to give him a crack at the title.
00:58:31Why don't you go on the road, Tommy?
00:58:33Well, what Dave's talking about, it'll take two or three years.
00:58:36There's no money in it.
00:58:38The real dough's right here in New York, in the big arenas, television.
00:58:42Heather, where are you starved?
00:58:43I see.
00:58:48Look, Dave, the fight game is a business, just like any other business.
00:58:52There's no room for idealism.
00:58:54Now, you take my business.
00:58:55If a competitor becomes a real threat to what I have or what I want, I amalgamate with them.
00:59:02That way, playing it smart, nobody loses.
00:59:05I ain't that kind of smart.
00:59:06I don't want to be.
00:59:08There's no need for that attitude, Dave.
00:59:10We both have Tommy's best interest at heart.
00:59:13But three years is a long time.
00:59:18A great deal could happen.
00:59:19Why did Tommy move into the house, Dan?
00:59:27Obviously, I asked him to.
00:59:29He doesn't belong here.
00:59:31I sometimes think, Dorothy, that you're the snob in this family.
00:59:36Tommy and I have been getting along just fine.
00:59:38So I've seen.
00:59:39If you're in love with him, Dorothy, you ought to realize that unless he grows intellectually, unless his interests correspond with yours, it wouldn't last.
00:59:49Together, we can make something out of him.
00:59:50Like you've made something of me.
00:59:53Dependent, insecure, never quite measuring up.
00:59:57Make him willing to compromise for the way of life you've shown him.
01:00:00What money can buy.
01:00:01Well, I won't stay here and watch it.
01:00:06This time I'm getting out for good.
01:00:13Dorothy.
01:00:17Dorothy.
01:00:20Tommy, wait a minute.
01:00:21What's the matter?
01:00:21What happened?
01:00:23She's leaving.
01:00:24Leaving?
01:00:24Where's she going?
01:00:25Now, don't worry about it.
01:00:26She'll be back.
01:00:27Wait.
01:00:28If you go after her now, you'll only make matters worse.
01:00:31Dorothy's disturbed about you moving into the house.
01:00:33Why?
01:00:34She feels I'm interfering in your life.
01:00:37Tommy, the important thing for you is to get financial independence as soon as possible.
01:00:42I could give you money, but...
01:00:43I don't want it that way.
01:00:44Of course you don't.
01:00:46Well, the answer, it seems to me, is to get into the big money and soon.
01:00:50Once you get it, your future's guaranteed.
01:00:53Then you'll have time to go after that championship.
01:00:55Yeah.
01:00:56But how?
01:00:58It seems to me that all the business being done in this town is being done with cram.
01:01:04Dave won't hold still for that.
01:01:06It's your life, Tommy, and Dorothy's.
01:01:15I've got to have a shot at the title.
01:01:17I need it now.
01:01:18I can't even get my foot in cram's office.
01:01:26You could if we played along.
01:01:36You better give me that again.
01:01:38I'm not sure I heard it.
01:01:39Well, who am I to change the world?
01:01:44I need a stake.
01:01:45A big one.
01:01:46Tell cram I'll give Corelli a chance to wipe out that decision I won.
01:01:50Find out how much you'll pay for a sure win for his boy.
01:01:53You'd go in the tank?
01:01:55I said find out how much it'll be worth.
01:01:58Quite a fistful.
01:02:00Beat him once, so you could be the favorite.
01:02:02Now, if we bid on Corelli, and you lose, we could stand to make a pile.
01:02:09I want you to see, cram.
01:02:11Find out just how much he will pay.
01:02:16If he'll go along, I will.
01:02:18I want you to take every dime he pays me and put it on Corelli.
01:02:21Tommy.
01:02:29Tommy!
01:02:31Come in, Tommy.
01:02:33Come in.
01:02:35I'd like you to meet Mrs. Mallinson.
01:02:37This is Tommy Shea.
01:02:39How do you do?
01:02:41How do you do?
01:02:43You're the prize fighter.
01:02:46Dorothy has told me about you.
01:02:48She said that...
01:02:49Dear, why don't you go up and rest for a while?
01:02:52Well, I'd like to talk to...
01:02:53Some other time, dear.
01:02:56Well.
01:02:58Well, all right.
01:03:01I'd better take my purse with me.
01:03:04Have you seen it?
01:03:06On the couch where you left it, dear.
01:03:14Oh, dear, I'm so clumsy.
01:03:23Thank you very much.
01:03:26Well, it's been nice meeting you, Mr. Shea.
01:03:30Thank you, Mrs. Mallinson.
01:03:40Mrs. Mallinson will be with us from now on, Tommy.
01:03:43Oh, that's fine.
01:03:44I brought her home from the sanitarium this morning.
01:03:49They must be careful with her.
01:03:51She's not completely well yet.
01:03:55I'd like to tell you something about her, Tommy.
01:03:57I think you'd be interested.
01:03:59She came from a background, something like yours.
01:04:02When I first met her, she was working in a department store.
01:04:05I was fascinated by her.
01:04:07There was great potential there.
01:04:08I saw that with help, she could become gracious, charming lady.
01:04:15But I didn't see the contradictions in her personality.
01:04:20You see, Tommy, I tried to do for her what I've done for you.
01:04:24But she couldn't get over her background.
01:04:26She didn't have your strength.
01:04:28There were weaknesses there.
01:04:29She always felt inferior.
01:04:34But it's not the time to talk about that now.
01:04:37You look in great shape, Tommy.
01:04:39Everything going all right?
01:04:42Yeah.
01:04:42Fine, I guess.
01:04:44Good.
01:04:57Hi, Dave.
01:04:59I'd like to try to explain this to you.
01:05:11You don't have to.
01:05:12I read print pretty good now.
01:05:14There it is, black and white.
01:05:16And between the lines, yellow.
01:05:20We've come a long way together.
01:05:23Yeah.
01:05:24To nowhere.
01:05:26I still want you with me, Dave.
01:05:29I checked out when you mugged me, using crime as a club.
01:05:33I ain't got time to even look at you anymore.
01:05:35Come on.
01:06:05Your father said you'd come back. I'm glad you did.
01:06:16I came back because of my mother.
01:06:19Listen, Dorothy. After the fight, I'm going to have a big chunk of money.
01:06:23Enough to take care of both of us.
01:06:25You won't have to live here anymore if that's what you want.
01:06:28Good luck, Tommy.
01:06:30I hope you win, if that's what you want.
01:06:36Didn't you hear me?
01:06:38I'm going to have the money. Doesn't matter whether I win or not.
01:06:42It's on the line.
01:06:43I know. I think you've made what they call a fix.
01:06:48Have you, Tommy?
01:06:49I'm going to have the money. That's all that matters.
01:06:53We're entitled to have it. You said so yourself.
01:06:55Not this way.
01:06:56Anyway, now is what's important.
01:07:00Wouldn't you want us to get married in the next world?
01:07:02Whatever I'm doing, it's for you. Don't you see that?
01:07:07I want us to start out right.
01:07:09With enough for both of us.
01:07:10There'll never be enough. That's the way my father wants it.
01:07:14You're like a child with his nose against the window.
01:07:17Blinded by the dazzle of things he's never had.
01:07:20What you don't see is that the only thing that can belong to you is yourself.
01:07:23As someone you love.
01:07:24And you don't belong to yourself anymore, Tommy.
01:07:26Or to me.
01:07:27You belong to him.
01:07:29Or to whoever buys you.
01:07:30Whoever has the price on the tag.
01:07:32The way you once thought about me.
01:07:35It's funny.
01:07:38The thing I've had all my life.
01:07:39Money.
01:07:40It's always been in the way of anything I really want.
01:07:44I'm ready, dear.
01:07:47Oh, hello, Miss Tichet.
01:07:48I'll be there in a minute, Mother.
01:07:50I'll be there in a minute, Mother.
01:07:50I'll be there in a minute, Mother.
01:07:57Goodbye, Tommy.
01:08:02Goodbye.
01:08:04Yes.
01:08:05He thought that bringing my mother here would get me back.
01:08:08But we're both leaving.
01:08:10I'll be able to now, Tommy.
01:08:12Watching what he's done to you has given me the strength I needed.
01:08:27Tommy, you're up late for the night.
01:08:30I've been waiting for you.
01:08:32Dorothy was here this afternoon.
01:08:34Oh.
01:08:35Well, that's fine.
01:08:36I told you she'd come back.
01:08:38And after this fight, Tommy, you're going to have quite a large sum of money.
01:08:42You'll be able to give her everything she wants.
01:08:44Just as you planned.
01:08:46You mean just as you planned.
01:08:49Yes, I suppose you're right.
01:08:52But anything else you and Dorothy need from now on, I'm with you 100%.
01:08:55You haven't got enough, Mallinson.
01:08:58Look, I made a fix.
01:09:00Just like you wanted me to.
01:09:02I don't blame anybody but myself.
01:09:05Dorothy was right.
01:09:06I had my nose against the window.
01:09:08Tommy Shea, one of the 100 neediest cases.
01:09:11Taking a handout from you so you could run my life.
01:09:14Tell me what to think, how to feel.
01:09:16The only thing you ever had I really wanted, I lost because I listened to you.
01:09:20That's your kind of a fix, Mallinson.
01:09:22It's harder to figure out than the kind Cram makes, but it smells just as bad.
01:09:27No matter what happens to me from now on, you're not going to be any part of it.
01:09:30I'm checking out of this fancy graveyard.
01:09:32Hello, Harry.
01:09:45I...
01:09:45What's so important?
01:09:48You've got to talk about it at 2 o'clock in the morning.
01:09:50I'm not throwing the fight.
01:09:53I don't like your sense of humor, Shea.
01:09:55It does nothing for me.
01:09:57What have you and this weasel cooked up?
01:09:58Ray had nothing to do with it.
01:10:00I've been trying to talk him into seeing things our way, Harry.
01:10:02You better listen to him.
01:10:04It's going to be on the level, and that's it.
01:10:06You stinkin' no...
01:10:07Hold it, Stretch.
01:10:09This isn't the first pig hit I've ever looked at.
01:10:11He won't wise up.
01:10:13So you want to fight Corelli Square, huh?
01:10:16Okay.
01:10:18We'll play it your way.
01:10:20But you won't like it.
01:10:21Sorry, Ray.
01:10:36Chump.
01:10:39Yeah.
01:10:41I guess that's the word for it.
01:10:42Well, this washes us up, Ray.
01:10:48Hangin' on with me now, the only direction you can go is down.
01:10:52True or false?
01:10:54True.
01:10:55Hey, no future.
01:11:02I got a lot of dough riding on you to lose the Corelli fight.
01:11:07I'm sort of a chump myself.
01:11:10I hope I don't collect it.
01:11:12I'm stickin' with ya.
01:11:13You want to go down the lobby?
01:11:24No.
01:11:26How about playing some gin?
01:11:29No, thanks, Ray.
01:11:35You're thinkin' about Dave, huh?
01:11:40Yeah.
01:11:41You ought to have him with ya, Tommy.
01:11:43He won't come back.
01:11:59Think I'll try to get a little sleep.
01:12:01Good idea.
01:12:10I'm gonna take a little walk.
01:12:12Kind of jittery.
01:12:13You get that rest, huh?
01:12:14All right.
01:12:45Hey, what is this?
01:12:48In the ribs.
01:12:50What's on those ribs?
01:13:10Tommy wouldn't have gotten this mess in the first place
01:13:12if he hadn't listened to that gab of yours.
01:13:14Oh, get off my back. Tommy's playing it straight.
01:13:16He's gonna try to beat Corelli. Isn't that what you want?
01:13:19I'll believe it when I hear it from Tommy.
01:13:22Tommy?
01:13:23He must still be sleeping.
01:13:29Tommy!
01:13:38You gotta let me call it off, Tommy.
01:13:40I'll be all right.
01:13:42You can't go up against Corelli like this.
01:13:43One more beating now and you'll wind up on Dream Street.
01:13:46It's no use, Dave. I'm gonna fight.
01:13:48Be good to yourself, Tommy. Listen to me.
01:13:50Money ain't gonna do you no good if you're walking around punchy.
01:13:53Nothing in your head but birdseed.
01:13:55I have to prove something.
01:13:57Prove there's some things I won't do for money.
01:13:59I gotta beat him, Dave.
01:14:09I'm tired, dear. I think I'll go to bed.
01:14:12All right, lovey. Good night.
01:14:14I hope he wins.
01:14:17Introducing, in this corner, wearing white trunks with a black stripe, weighing in at 146 and three-quarter pounds, from Jersey City, New Jersey, that sensational young challenger, Tommy Shea.
01:14:36And now, presenting on my left, wearing black trunks with a white stripe, weighing in at 145 pounds, that popular welterweight boxing champion of the world, Al Corelli.
01:14:58As you know the rules, you got your instructions and the permission this afternoon.
01:15:06Your eight count is weighed out in this championship fight.
01:15:09Good luck to both of you boys. Shake hands now, come out and fight.
01:15:16The word is to keep working on his ribs.
01:15:18I'll push him clear through his back.
01:15:20Keep him away from those ribs.
01:15:22Fan him with your left and move.
01:15:23The word is down cut.
01:15:24The word sick.
01:15:25The word, Mantle, move.
01:15:26Whoo!
01:15:27I'll push him away from the ground.
01:15:28Everything will soon.
01:15:33Come on, Al.
01:15:38Come I get to reach.
01:15:39Come on now.
01:15:41Come on now.
01:15:46Come on now, let's go.
01:15:47Come on now, let's go.
01:15:50Come on.
01:15:51Come on.
01:15:52Come on, come on here.
01:15:56Come on!
01:15:58Come on, Tommy.
01:16:04Come on, Sarah.
01:16:08Hey look, hey look.
01:16:14Come on now, break it up.
01:16:22Get out of here!
01:16:52My ribs, Dave.
01:17:00Yeah, I know.
01:17:02You got to protect him.
01:17:03Keep that left hand low.
01:17:05I did, but he moves upstairs with that right.
01:17:08Just keep your chin tucked in.
01:17:10Keep moving to his left.
01:17:11Keep moving to his left.
01:17:41Keep moving to his left.
01:18:11I can't keep taking this pounding.
01:18:21I'm going to stop the fight.
01:18:22No, Dave, you can't.
01:18:23You can't do that.
01:18:24I'll get him.
01:18:26All right, then, but listen to this.
01:18:28You got one chance, and it's a long shot.
01:18:30Switch back to your old style, southpaw.
01:18:32First time you throw a right, keep it out there.
01:18:35Try to take him by surprise.
01:18:38If you don't finish him off in this round, I'm going to stop the fight.
01:18:41You got him now.
01:18:42Finish him off.
01:18:43Uh-uh.
01:18:44Not yet.
01:18:45I've got some kicks coming to me.
01:18:47I'm going to carve him up like a turkey.
01:18:49Hmm.
01:18:58Whoa!
01:18:59Hold on!
01:19:00Hold on!
01:19:00Hold on!
01:19:02Hold on!
01:19:03One, two, three, six, seven, nine, ten.
01:19:23The winner by knockout, a new welterweight champion of the world, Tommy Shea.
01:19:33How about it, Doc?
01:19:43He's in pretty bad shape, that ribcage.
01:19:47I think it's true fighting.
01:19:49True?
01:19:51Well, if you were my boy, never again.
01:20:03Tommy.
01:20:09You don't have to tell me.
01:20:13I can read that face of yours pretty good.
01:20:17No more, huh?
01:20:19No more.
01:20:22It don't matter, Tommy.
01:20:23You made it.
01:20:25You're a champion by me.
01:20:27You always will be.
01:20:28The only real one I ever had.
01:20:40Tommy.
01:20:45What are you doing here?
01:20:49Dorothy, I've been coming here since I was a kid.
01:20:51I finally figured out what's been wrong with this deal.
01:20:56No matter what you've got or haven't got it,
01:20:59it doesn't mean anything if you're always looking at it by yourself.
01:21:02I'll be right back.
01:21:12Bye-bye.
01:21:17Bye-bye.
01:21:18Bye-bye.
01:21:19Bye-bye.
01:21:22Bye-bye.
