What's left behind the scenes
- The film had a significant influence on Martin Scorsese when he created “Raging Bull.”
- In the original literary source, which was later adapted into the screenplay for this film, the boxer was named Pansy Jones (in the film he is known as Stoker Thompson), he was Black, not White, and was a polygamist (rather than the devoted husband he appears to be in the film). The fact is that RKO Studios simply did not have a Black actor under contract at the time who could be cast in the leading role. Of course, James Edwards (1918-1970) was in the film’s cast, but the studio executives felt he was not well enough known to the public to play the main character.
- One of the first films where the depiction of an event takes exactly as much screen time as it would in real life.
- The blind man who attends the fight and has the events in the ring described to him by his companion is based on a man who attended boxing matches in San Francisco and was once seen there by screenwriter Art Cohn (1909-1958).
- The film had a significant influence on Martin Scorsese when he was creating *Raging Bull*.
