Drama

In this rousing, rough-and-tumble story of a street gang in New York’s Little Italy, young Monk (Leonard Nimoy) becomes a professional fighter and rises to the heights of success in the sordid world of boxing.  Filmed against a background of real boxers, gold-digging sex kittens, crooked gamblers and the mob, this taut drama is aflame with all the excitement of romance, greed and golden gloves action.
