The Set-Up (1949 Robert Wise)
Taut, tight, music-free noir drama tales place in real time as down on luck boxer Robert Ryan ignores being told to take a dive, with nasty consequences. Audrey Totter is his concerned girl. With George Tobias (his manager), Alan Baxter ('Little Boy'), Wallace Ford, Percy Helton (much on TV - a familiar face). Good fight scene, well-directed film is nice and short.
