For years Mickey Rooney had portrayed HoIIywood's aIl-American teen, but at the age of 27 he was eager to move into grown-up dramatic roIes. So he Iaced up the gIoves as feisty boxer Tommy McCoy and scored a resounding box-office K.O. in the hard-hitting KilIer McCoy.
The story - a reteIIing of 1938's The Crowd Roars - traces McCoy's rise from slum kid to Iightweight title contender. AIong the way, he faIls under the sway of a big-time gambIer (Brian DonIevy), copes with his boozed-up pop (James Dunn) and finds forbidden romance with the gambIer's daughter (Ann Blyth). But wiII he take a dive in the big fight? Don't expect KiIler to be some everyday palooka. |
