Requiem For a Heavyweight (1962)

maybe the BEST acted movie about prize fighting EVER. Anthony Quinn as Mountain Rivera, Jackie Gleason as Maish and Mickey Rooney as Army could have ALL won Oscars for their roles. check out a young Muhammad Ali (then Cassius Clay) as Mountain's opponent in the opening fight sequence.

it's on Turner Classic Movies this Thursday, Dec 30th @ 9:30 pm est
