Somebody Up There Likes Me (1956)
Country: US
Technical: bw 112m
Director: Robert Wise
Cast: Paul Newman, Pier Angeli, Everett Sloane, Sal Mineo, Robert Loggia
Synopsis:
The rise to middleweight champion of unpromising Brooklyn delinquent Rocky Graziano.
Review:
Strong echoes of On the Waterfront, in performance and setting, pervade this filmed autobiography of a truly American hero (immigrant stock, unpromising beginnings, true grit). Newman does pretty well with the role, which catapulted him to greater things, and the film builds to an exciting climactic bout.
