Body and Soul is a film not simply with gritty boxing scenes but also a fascinating character analysis indicative of the human condition.

Rating: 4/5 --
Altogether this Enterprise picture rolls up a round-by-round triumph on points until it comes through with a climactic knockout that hits the all-time high in throat-catching fight films.
