Not Film Noir

Yes, there is a &quot;bad&quot; blonde babe in this film who exploits the innocent pugilist main character, but otherwise this story falls more squarely in the realm of melodrama than film noir. Still worth a look, especially for the mid-50s milieu of the grimy boxing palaces that would be apotheosized thirty years later in Martin Scorsese&apos;s Raging Bull.

(EDIT, Feb &apos;22): When I wrote the above the film still had &quot;Film Noir&quot; included on the main page as a genre&apos; tag for the film. It has since been removed. And no, I didn&apos;t request the change...evidently somebody else agreed with me.
