Rating: C+ -- This would-be intelligent soap opera tale about the early days of pro football never reaches a boil. Full Review

Sometimes interesting but sexist tale about football, with some good Tourneur touches. Full Review

It's made with a great pulse, but lacks the height of Jacques Tourmeur's other unforgettable films. [Full Review in Spanish] Full Review

But perhaps the most persuasive thing about "Easy Living" is the forthright depiction of professional football as a stimulating, cash-on-the-line business, one Mr. Schnee seems to understand from locker room to goalpost. Full Review

Description by OLDIES.com:

This 1949 football drama was somewhat ahead of its time in its realistic depiction of the politics and money behind professional football. Victor Mature stars as Peter Wilson, the star halfback for the New York Chiefs, who risks oblivion and the loss of his mercenary wife by revealing a newly found heart condition. If Wilson plays the game at his best, he could kill himself; yet if he retires, he loses his lucrative position, his fame and, as a result, his wife.

Lucille Ball costars as Anne, the team secretary, who unselfishly helps Wilson resolve his problems -- even those with his wife, although Anne is in love with him. In the end, Wilson must come to terms with his own self-respect and choose to play in the big game or settle for a small college coaching job.

Product Description:

An aging football star struggles to cope with a fading career and a grasping wife in this gridiron melodrama based on an Irwin Shaw story.
