Directed by Tod Browning

Runtime: 73 min.
Genre: drama
Print Quality: B
In this boxing drama, a prizefighter is left by his money-grubbing showgirl wife who aspires
to be a movie star. The fighter's manager is tickled by the turn of events and immediately
snaps the boxer out of his love-struck funk and sets him a challenging training program.
Sure enough the fighter makes a strong comeback. As soon as the fame and fortune starts
rolling in, the avaricious wife shows up at his door. She fires his manager and hires her
secret lover in his place. Soon the fighter begins losing again. Just before the championship
bout the old manager proves that his wife is being unfaithful. That is only the beginning of
the end for the champ.
IRON MAN (1951)
Starring Jeff Chandler, Evelyn Keyes, Stephen McNally, Rock Hudson, Joyce Holden, James
Arness
Directed by Joseph Pevney
Print: black/white
Runtime: 81 min.
Genre: drama
Print Quality: B
A remake of the 1931 film of the same name, Iron Man stars Jeff Chandler as
up-and-coming boxer Cokie Martin. A relatively pleasant fellow outside the ring, Martin turns
into a monster whenever he dons boxing gloves and trunks. As a result, he becomes "the
man you love to hate" so far as the fans are concerned. Only his fiancee Rose (Evelyn
Keyes) is willing to stand by him, but even her devotion is sorely tested when Cokie
continues displaying his killer instinct. Only the intervention of "clean" fighter Speed
O'Keefe (Rock Hudson) prevents Cokie from destroying himself. Told in flashback, Iron Man
is at its best in its expository scenes, showing the hero working his way out of a coal mining
town and into the championship. Joyce Holden co-stars as a good-time girl who enjoys a
brief fling with the hero; in the original 1931 version, Holden's character was played by Jean
Harlow.
