Day of the Fight

I absolutely loved this film. It grabbed me in the first few minutes and I was completely absorbed. Huston has made a muscular and lyrical film. Pitt deserves a nomination for Best Actor. He is incapable of a false moment. He is pitch perfect in every scene and it reminds of how Boardwalk Empire suffered without him. Now a man, Pitt acts with a depth that is funny and moving. Ron Perlman, Joe Pesci and Steve Buscemi are wonderful in supporting roles. Perlman steals every scene he is in. Huston's script has so many fine moments. The original music is gorgeous. Do not miss this film. It is a quiet classic.
