About this product

Product Information

This big-screen adaptation of Rod Serling's landmark television drama is about an aging boxer whose controlling manager leads him to consider throwing fights instead of retiring. Packing a wallop, primarily as an in-depth character study, this drama is packed with real-life boxers and star power. Julie Harris is undaunted as Grace Miller, a stern yet gentle employment counselor, who hopes to ease the heavy weight's transition. Anthony Quinn is huge in both soul and stature as Mountain Rivera, and Jackie Gleason proves to be an equal match for him as his manager Maish Renick. Renick is both weak and crafty which adequately bolsters our sympathies for Quinn's inarticulate giant fighter. Mickey Rooney tugs heartstrings as Army, Quinn's trainer, and has a particularly memorable moment in a card-playing scene. Full of authenticity and atmosphere, with cameos by Muhammad Ali and Jack Dempsey, and supported with a great script by Rod Serling, this is one of the most moving boxing films ever made.

This is an outstanding seller to deal with. Fair prices that are more than reasonable in this economy. The product is even better condition than described, a true value for my money. Packaged and shipped well shows seller has concern for the products he sells to arrive in excellent condition. The seller is friendly and communicates timely with his customers. All in all I highly recommend this seller and would do business again anytime. Thank you and be safe. Good luck to the future.

The good: item shipped promptly and arrived in excellent condition The discs themselves appeared pristine. The not-so-good: three of the five discs wouldn't play (I didn't test the other two). The great: I sent the seller a message and received a prompt response and a refund that same evening. So, the item itself was defective (despite its excellent appearance) but the seller came through politely and promptly. Would do business with again.

    Requiem 1962 version

    Seventy senior high school students viewed both versions of "Requiem for a Heavyweight" and you could have heard a pin drop at the end of this one. They enjoyed the character development and action that the movie allowed as opposed to the live television. I don't want to give away too much but it's worth the time to view both and compare. Rod Serling preferred this one. Interesting trivia: Jack Palance and Anthony Quinn were both in "Barabbas!"

  • Awesome movie. Small film but a really incredible one. HIghly Highly recommend this film

    I am not an Anthony Quinn fan but his work in this is so spot-on, so riveting, and accurate that it is highly moving. In fact, everyone in this picture does top-notch work. It is a small but mighty film that really packs a wallop. I highly highly recommend this film. If you are unaware of it, take a chance on this, you won't be disappointed. The humanity in it is so revealed and incredibly engaging. Again, this film is a winner. You won't regret buying it.

  • Wonderful Classic Movie with Great Actors & Script

    This is another one of those classic B&W films you must see if you haven't already. Wonderful acting by Anthony Quinn, Jackie Gleason, Mickey Rooney and all of the bit players in this really great story. After seeing this movie once on Turner Classic Movies - TCM, I had to own this on DVD. Rated at 7.8 by IMDB

  • This movie should be in everyone’s collection.

    It a movie with great acting by great actors. I always thought it a great period piece that should be in my collection. A very American story.
