The story is about two brothers traveling from Chicago to LA to earn a living. By coincidence, Midge (Kirk Douglas) discovers his talent in boxing and becomes an upstart with an insatiable desire for money, fame, women and respect. On the other hand, his brother Connie (Arthur Kennedy) is more down-to-earth who seeks happiness with much less. The cast is great and screenplay is very well written.
Having watched some boxing movies recently, I can tell that many memorable scenes in Rocky movies and Raging Bull (1980) were inspired from this one.
