Hvor å se The Set-Up
- KahnsWrath7. mars 2026There aren't many noir movies that are also boxing movies, which only makes Robert Wise's The Set-Upmore special. Based on a 1928 narrative poem by Joseph Moncure March, it was named by Wise as one of his favorite films of his career. It tells the story of Bill "Stoker" Thompson, a 35-year-old has-been boxer whose manager, sure he will continue to lose fights, takes a bribe from a betting gangster without telling Stoker. Working with a relatively low budget, Wise made a brutal and exciting melodrama that stands out among most other noir films from the era, since this one's also one of the best sports movies of the last 100 years. Wise's gritty style here is so different from his voice in later works like West Side Storyand The Sound of Musicthat one could even think they're made by different filmmakers, which only speaks to the director's versatility.
