A sports columnist turned publicist (Humphrey Bogart, pictured second right) and his wife (Jan Sterling) agonise over whether, and how, to expose corruption in the fight game.
Reviewed by Chris Tookey



Bogart's last screen appearance is among his best, and his understated style contrasts to Rod Steiger's over-the-top Method acting as the chief crook. Burnett Guffey's moody cinematography was Oscar-nominated.
