is a 1956 American drama film directed by Robert Wise and starring Paul Newman and Pier Angeli, based on the life of middleweight boxing legend Rocky Graziano . The film was nominated for three Academy Awards, and won two: Best Cinematography (Black and White) ( Joseph Ruttenberg ) and Best Art Direction (Black and White) ( Cedric Gibbons, Malcolm Brown, Edwin B. Willis, F. Keogh Gleason ).
Newman was anxious to make good this time around and Robert Wise, a good actor s director, understood how to bring the best in individual performers, according to their special gifts and creative insights, guiding Newman thoroughly with masterful control and understanding. In peak condition, Newman, a grad of the prestigious Actors Studio, lent himself readily to the Graziano part, incorporated techniques Ernest Lehman s taut, hard-hitting follows in broad outlines of the nook Graziano co-wrote with Barber: the under-privileged childhood and adolescence, the descent into delinquency and crime, the fixed fights, the beginning of self-respect, the gradual climb to his own brand of human dignity and the channeling of his energies into a constructive career as a boxer.
Australian actor Rod Taylor was also considered for the part; although unsuccessful, his screen test impressed MGM enough for them to offer him a long term contract. The film was also notable for being one of Paul Newman ‘s first starring roles and for being one of the first films in which Steve McQueen appeared. It also marked the film debuts of Frank Campanella, Robert Loggia, Angela Cartwright, and Dean Jones, all in uncredited bit parts .
Rocky Graziano ( Paul Newman ) has a difficult time with his parents as he is beaten by his father. He joins a street gang, and undergoes a long history of criminal activities. He is sent to prison, where he is rebellious to all authority figures. After his release, he is drafted by the U.S. Army, but runs away. Needing money, he becomes a boxer, and finds that he has natural talent and wins six fights in a row before the Army finds him and dishonorably discharges him. He serves a year in a United States Disciplinary Barracks, and resumes his career as a boxer as a result.
