1930 · Film
Released in 1930, The Big Fight is an action, drama and romance film directed by Walter Lang. “A SMASHING LOVE STORY OF THE ARENA!” — that tagline sets the tone.
What it’s about. Based on the David Belasco stage production of the Max Marcin play in which heavyweight-champion Jack Dempsey played the role of the fighter, Tiger: This "behind-the-scenes look of a heavyweight-championship fight" looks much like all of the other boxing films in which the Champ gets involved in a frame-up and is asked to take a dive.
Who’s in it. The Big Fight stars Lola Lane as Shirley, Ralph Ince as Chuck, Guinn "Big Boy" Williams as Tiger and Stepin Fetchit as Spot, among others.
