...Louis, saw what was coming. And no 'one in the crowd, even the most rabid of Rocky's fans, really wanted to see it. In the eighth, a solid left hook, thrown wildly from Marciano's awkward, hunched crouch, caught Joe flush on the jaw and sent him tumbling to the canvas. Louis had been knocked down in other bouts, and each time he had come up fighting. He did this time too, but there was no sting left to his blows, nothing to make a man back down before his attack.

So far, the star system has backfired: the talents of Helen Hayes and David Niven were wasted in a soggy romance called Not a Chance, while Cinemactor John Payne had only to tighten his jaw muscles menacingly as the Government agent in The Name Is Bellingham, a routine thriller about dope smugglers. But Bellingham was noteworthy for imaginative camerawork, some nice atmosphere touches, and the repeated scene-stealing of minor Actor Guy Thomajon as a devious Chinese businessman...
