Knockout

Johnny, Johnny, Johnny, if they said the name Johnny once they said it more than a thousand times in this short 73 minute cheap boxing film. Arthur Kennedy plays an arrogant boxing champ Johnny Rocket and his manager is a street smart guy named Trego, played by Anthony Quinn who likes to pick the round that Johnny can win or possibly lose his fight in. Of course Johnny has a couple of dames falling in and out of love with him, just like how Johnny goes down then up in the boxing ring until the doctor calls him out for good.

The film lacks everything except the script writing that is consistent with repeating the boxing champs first name "Johnny" over and over and over again to ad nauseam.

This is a cheap B movie at best and Arthur Kennedy is most difficult to envision as a winning ring pugilist. I give the film a 3 out of 10 rating, at the count of 10, you are OUT Johnny!
