occasion of the publication of the first part of a dossier that the portal dedicated Film Archive, between this month and next, a group of American filmmakers that would and remains unknown-classified as "television generation", I had the opportunity to review a film I had seen for quite some time, and I think a work really impressive. I mean Requiem for a Champion (Requiem for a Heavyweight, 1962), written by Rod Serling, starring a superlative Anthony Quinn, Jackie Gleason, Mickey Rooney and Julie Harris, and performed by a director to which, I admit, I've never held in high esteem, although it signed here is probably still his best film: Ralph Nelson. " Although, true," Requiem for a Champion "can be seen as a fierce diatribe against boxing, (...) is not just an" anti-boxing movie. " It is also a splendid melodrama about the failure that had been the delight of a John Huston-who already addressed a similar theme in his later "Fat City (Golden City)" (1972) - and whose powerful study of characters, situations and environments raise the interest of the above proposal, even impassioned speech that anti-boxing to erect a romantic and tragic piece to exasperation.
