NOTES B/W.


This is another story about boxing and two very different brothers.  Micheal (Douglas) is the successful boxer who has a selfish and overpowering personality. Connie is disabled and walks with a limp using a cane.
Connie is the weaker person but the good guy.
Though the film won many Oscar nominations I think it is over-rated like Douglas.
