with such a wonderful story or plot and this movie overcome the bias that one might have for the believability of robert taylor a a boxer . you can not help but pull for tommy mccoy to win . if you like a myriad of emotion within a movie then i would definitely recommend this one . i laugh and choke back a tear and i be on the edge of my seat during the end . this movie have everything that make a great movie . it have a wonderful plot and a great lead actor with a great support cast and a beautiful actress ( maureen osullivan ) and good versus evil and suspense and a surprise end . the crowd roar be a gem that i plan on add to my collection . you do not have to be a sport fan to love this one and but it do help . i can not understand how this movie have get lose in roar of the crowd .
