Picture carries plenty of dramatic punch.

B

Bosley Crowther

RTNew York TimesMar 25, 2006

Uunevenly paced, mounts slowly to a sizzling prizefight sequence, which comes somewhere about the middle, then sags off to a long-drawn, agonized finish.

C

Critic

RTTV GuideNov 1, 2007

Litvak's careful poduction overcomes any flaws.

D

RTDennis Schwartz Movie ReviewsJul 22, 2006

The heartwrenching tearjerker love story surfaces at the end as a winner by a narrow decision.
