Requiem pour un champion (1962)
Après dix sept ans de carrière, le boxeur poids lourds Mountain Rivera est mis K.O. par Cassius Clay. Gravement blessé à l'oeil, il doit raccrocher les gants sous peine de perdre la vue. Avec l'aide de son fidèle soigneur, Army, il se lance alors à la recherche d'un travail. Une assistante sociale se prend d'affection pour ce colosse pathétique et offre la possibilité de devenir moniteur dans un camp de vacances. Mais son entraîneur, criblé de dettes, a d'autres projets pour lui, il entend le reconvertir en catcheur.
