FAT CITY
Stacy Keach and Jeff Bridges anchor former amateur lightweight John Huston's unsentimental and fiercely underrated adaptation of Leonard Gardner’s novel about two boxers — one past his prime, the other just a teen — slugging their way through a down-and-out amateur boxing circuit for chump change. The iconoclastic Susan Tyrell's portrayal of a feisty barfly earned her a Best Supporting Actress nomination. DIR/PROD John Huston; SCR Leonard Gardner, based on his novel; PROD Ray Stark. U.S., 1972, color, 100 min. RATED PG
