FOUND my lost External Hard Drive, FINALLY. So many things to go over I haven't seen in many months.......Hooray! This morning watched The Champion 1949 Kirk Douglas. For those of you have passed this one up, go back and get it. It was a movie that gave Kirk Douglas the break he needed to go over the top.......even though it was a B film type........it sure didn't show in the camera work, and acting of Kirk and the cast. Also, Kirk, at 32 was a very convincing boxer due to his earlier experiences. And, for those days, the make-up was magic. No "give aways" here, but this was one of the best fight movies especially for the budget that I have ever seen. These two pictures show the end of the fight where the boxer was "finished" until he saw things that pushed him past his limit. The second picture is probably one of the most powerful acting scenes from Kirk Douglas ever. My take, anyway. Last picture shows the shape that Kirk was in at the time of the filming. The fight scenes were some of the best, (you MIGHT see a few missed punches, but just don't look for them, LOL)! Definitely worth the watch if somehow you missed it in all these years, LOL! KEITH
