"Has something that is all Huston's own: his fascination with underdogs and losers...one of his best films...The movie's edges are filled with small, perfect character performances." - Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times "Somet... more »hing quite special, full of the kind of dialogue that movies usually can't afford, that defines time, place, mood, and character while seemingly going nowhere...shows us the director of The Treasure of the Sierra Madre and The Asphalt Jungle working with his old meticulousness." - Vincent Canby, The New York Times The magisterial John Huston, working from Leonard Gardner's screen adaptation of his own novel, gives us in Fat City (1972) the story of two boxers, one an old-timer (Stacy Keach) on his way down, the other (Jeff Bridges), a hopeful striving for the top. Also starring Susan Tyrrell and Candy Clark and stunningly shot by the great Conrad Hall in drab and dusty Stockton, California, this is a kind of dingy poetic masterpiece.« less
