🥊 Where do I start? Budd Schulberg's lacerating THE HARDER THEY FALL (1956). It's based on a real story of corruption in the boxing biz and it features Humphrey Bogart—in his last ever screen performance—as an anguished bystander. https://t.co/Dz2j84K4ag

@HVYWeightHeroes Basis for the fine film, and Bogarts final film, The Harder They Fall. The film, written by old OSS man and sports writer Budd Schulberg, had Max Baer playing a boxer. @SpiesVespers
