Trite is hardly the word for the plot, which was already wheezy by the time this minor classic was made in 1947, but Abraham Polonsky's script brings such tight, painful focus to the moral choices that it seems fresh and real.

[T]his is both one of Hollywood's best boxing movies and a melodramatic morality tale, taking a skewed look at the American dream.

Garfield's bullish performance saves the movie from its stagy moments and episodic script.

If the movie works today, it's probably because of Abraham Polonsky's beautiful screenplay, a rich desert plate filled with glorious, lowdown street and sports prose.
