Produced by Columbia Pictures and directed by John Houston. This is a documentary film about how a decadent professional boxer Billy and another young companion tried to make a comeback and failed. Although the protagonist of the film is a boxer, the film is not a wonderful boxing scene, but focuses on the protagonist's daily life, hopes, fantasies and failures. The content of the film and the sympathetic rough life of the protagonist, coupled with the hazy effect caused by the use of blue light and brown light, make the film have a strong appeal and unique personality, and become one of the director's important works. The film was nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress.
