Fight night 1950 style

Day of the Fight (1951)

Directed by Stanley Kubrick this short documentary is narrated by Douglas Edwards. We follow fighter Walter Cartier on the day of a big boxing match.

I think this documentary is probably only well known due to it's director. The content is very standard, news reel style and clearly pushing an agenda. Fairly well made this is a pretty unremarkable effort.


3/5
