Mike Lane Had Me Fooled
I thought the actor who played Toro was someone like the Wild Bull of the Pampas. Stunned he was born in D.C.

shareYes, he turned out to be a very good actor, especially considering this was his first movie.
All the boxers are impressive -- Max Baer, Jersey Joe Walcott (who played the trainer, "George") ... and Pat Comiskey who played "Gus Dundee" -- why didn't HE get a credit in the titles??

At first I thought the character was "Dundee" but could have sworn his boxing robe read "Bundee." But the movies references also read "Dundee.'
shareMike Lane is abominable in this film, especially being cast with Humphrey F. Bogart and Rod F. Steiger. I don't know about his later films, but this was not a good showing for him.
shareNemehiah Persoff is now the sole survivor of the cast, now 96.
