Directed by Mark Robson
Producer Stanley Kramer was noted for having brought this stylish feature in under budget and ahead of schedule. He also provided a career-defining vehicle for actor Kirk Douglas, as ruthless, ambitious boxer Midge Kelly, seeking fame at all cost. The film, a dark horse and a great success, was thus an important building block of Kramer’s career, both at the box-office and within the Hollywood community.
