[quote]WHat noir boxing films influneced the Gold Watch segment. There is one in particular, which aludes me at the present time. 1947-ish? Maybe John Garfield, maybe not…
A boxer is told to throw a fight, but doesn’t… has to flee…
I know there are many influences in the segment, but there is a film which follows that noir escription[/quote]
On The Waterfront is one of them. The boxer Butch kills named Wilson is used in both that film AND Pulp Fiction as well. I’m sure theres a bunch moree, but I dont know any off hand.
