Academy Award-Winner Humphery Bogart stars in one of his most memorable performances as Eddie Willis a sportswriter who joins forces with a corrupt boxing promoter named Benko (Rod Steiger - The Player In The Heart Of The Night). Together they scheme to deceive Toro Moreno (Mike Lane) a clumsy seven-foot giant and the public into believing Moreno has a shot at the heavyweight title. Through a carefully arranged series of fixed fights Toro is duped into believing that he is a capable contender only to have his dreams - and his huge body - shattered when he is brutally between in a genuine fight with the heavyweight champion. Jersey Joe Walcott appears as Moreno's trainer with former boxing great Max Baer as the heavyweight champ. The Hrader They Fall is an intriguing film in the tradition of Bogart classics.
