Requiem for a Heavyweight

Ralph Nelson
     90 m.
Synopsis
Ralph Nelson made his debut in cinema with the adaptation of this play written especially for television by Rod Serling. This version for television is a perfect example of the films of the time that were performed live. It features a marvellous performance by Jack Palance, magnificently supported by Keenan Wynn and his father, Ed Wynn, in the first dramatic role of his career. An unquestionable masterpiece.
