Release date: 27 March 2017 (OOP date: 26 January 2021)
Limited Dual Format Edition (UK Blu-ray and DVD premiere)

John Huston’s sombre but compassionate boxing drama is a criminally underseen late-career masterpiece from the great director. Peppered with outstanding performances this gritty yet affectionate look at the world of small-time boxing highlights a down-and-out fighter and a young up-and-comer, both moving through a world of seedy gyms and flop houses.
