Movie: Body and Soul (1947)
Tagline: The story of a guy that women go for!
Trivia: To get a more fluid camera movement in the boxing ring, cinematographer James Wong Howe filmed the fight while holding the camera and being pushed by an assistant as he wore roller skates.
Goofs: Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Charley Davis’s fiancee, Peg, leaves him a note and misspells his name, “Charlie.”
“Charley Davis wins an amateur boxing match and is taken on by promoter Quinn. Charley’s mother doesn’t want him to fight, but when Charley’s father is accidentally killed, Charley sets up a fight for money. His career blooms as he wins fight after fight, but soon an unethical promoter named Roberts begins to show an interest in Charley, and Charley finds himself faced with increasingly difficult choices.
