Movie Title: Champion Champion is available for streaming or downloading. |
Interesting that upright around the same time–the tedious 40s–three different films were all released with basically the same theme and plot: The Set-Up (w. Robert Ryan) ; Champion (w. Kirk Douglas) ; and Body and Soul (w. John Garfield) . Ryan’s film is a very salubrious fraction of work while the Garfield film is, by today’s standards, heavy-handed, thus dated. But the Kirk Douglas film is, in fact, the Champion.
The boxing scenes are realistic–in spite of Douglas’ unusual nose job, made during filming, preventing any of his sparring partners to hit anywhere approach his schnozz. But more than anything else, it’s Douglas’ gigantic charisma and energy that raise this film above the norm. Douglas, as did Garfield in the earlier Body and Soul, plays a guy mired in poverty who sees boxing as a speedy device out of the hole and, once initially successful, wants nothing but more: both money and success. And nothing standing in his plan will prevent him from getting what he wants. But while Garfield’s portrayal of selfishness is forced and, as well, entrenched in cliched dialogue, both Douglas’ acting and the far more colorful script produce Midge Kelly’s (Douglas) relentless quest for power tremendously believable.
Arthur Kennedy is Connie, Midge’s brother whose leg was busted when he was a kid and now walks with a cane. The three–yep, count ‘em, three–women in Midge’s life add a lot of juice to the film and a nice touch is the casting of a brunette who’s Midge’s girl when he’s dreadful and two blondes when he’s rich and successful. Aid in them days, blondes were IT. (Marilyn Monroe and Jayne Mansfield carried on the tradition) .

Champion gives you a vast understanding of life in the slack 40s as well. It’s also lively that the director, Notice Robson, was portion of the Val Lewton school of dread directors (which also included Robert Wise), so makes suitable spend with his cinematographer of light and shadow. This is not exactly a film noir, but does have several noirish traits–camera lighting, and thematic corruption and desperation.
This is more a precursor to Raging Bull than Rocky; the latter character is always profitable, while DeNiro’s character is akin to Midge Kelly–rising posthaste from a life in the streets to effect fame and fortune, even if toes secure stepped on and hearts gets smashed to pieces (Rocky would never do stuff like that) .
A strong part of cinema; recommended.
Kirk Douglas plays an emotionally bankrupt man driven by poverty and exasperate to become a champion prizefighter. His energy and confidence attract cherish and loyalty from people who contribute to his success but become pain and disillusioned by his ingratitude and betrayal. The status is fairly simple, but the film holds interest through its portrayal of a man devoid of self-understanding, whose ambition can never truly be joyful despite his apparent success. The most intense scenes are in the boxing ring, where no amount of punishment can terminate him.
