Based on a 1956 teleplay by Rod Serling (of "The Twilight Zone" fame), Requiem for a Heavyweight stars Anthony Quinn as aging palooka Mountain Rivera, who finds himself literally on the ropes in the late stages of his career. A wonderful supporting cast includes Jackie Gleason as Rivera's manager and Mickey Rooney as the fighter's trainer. A fabulous film adaptation from an award-winning TV play. |
