Day Of The Fight" tells of a day in the life of a middleweight Irish boxer named Walter Cartier, particularly the day of his bout with black middleweight Bobby James. This 16-minute short opens with a short (about 4 - minutes) study of boxing's history, narrated by veteran newscaster Douglas Edwards in a no-nonsense, noir tone of voice. After this, we follow Walter (and his twin brother Vincent) through his day as he prepares for his 10 - 00 - P.M. bout. After eating breakfast, going to early mass and eating lunch, he starts arranging his things for the fight at 4 - 00 - P.M. By 8 - 00 - he is waiting in his dressing room, where he undergoes a mental transformation, turning into the fighting machine the crowd clamors for. At 10 - 00 - he faces James, and soon, he comes out victorious in a short match which was filmed live on April 17th, 1950. [收起部分]
