Himself - Host: [indicating a boxing ring] This is the arena. For over two hundred years men have fought here - some for sport, some for money - but all for fame and glory. Our story this week takes us back to the Roaring 20s. It was an unusual fight I think you'll remember for a long time.
Featured review
A change of format on The Lloyd Bridges Show. He is no longer a journalist who imagines a story.
Now Lloyd Bridges is the hose who introduces the story, this was set in the 1920s. A world title fight but with a difference.
Pappy Devlin (Bridges) is the veteran champion. The challenger is Kid Devlin (Gary Lockwood) Pappy's son. Both men dislike each other. Pappy regards his kid as a punk.
This title rivalry has split the Devlin family itself. Both men are determined to slug it out in the ring.
Written by Robert Towne (Oscar winner for Chinatown) directed by John Cassavetes (Oscar nominee as director, actor and writer.) This should had been good.
Instead it is an idea with no legs. Bridges is too old, although I did wonder just how old his character is. The boxing fight was too melodramatic. At one point Kid is about to knock his father out. The next round he is out of gas.
