The Parting (1960)
A university boxing captain struggles between love and ambition as he secretly longs for a woman promised to another. When betrayal and heartbreak push him toward a professional career, loyalty and sacrifice draw him back—ending in a fight against gangsters, a lost championship, and a tearful farewell to youth.
