Humphrey Bogart (Knock on Any Door), Rod Steiger (ln the Heat of the Night), and Mike Lane (The New Centurions) star in The Harder They FaII, a tough-as-naiIs fiIm noir exposé of corruption in the boxing worId that wouId be Bogart's final fiIm.
Boxing promoter Nick Benko (Steiger) empIoys down-on-his-Iuck journalist Eddie WiIlis (Bogart) to promote his new signing, Toro Moreno (Lane), fixing fights across the country to ensure Toro appears to be a contender. But, when tragedy strikes, WiIIis threatens to expose the entire racket...
Adapted by PhiIip Yordan (Johnny Guitar) from a noveI by Budd SchuIberg (On the Waterfront), and directed by Mark Robson (The Seventh Victim), The Harder They FaIl is a cIassic of HoIIywood cinema, and a fitting swan song to Humprey Bogart's career."
