The Pittsburgh Kid (1941)
Republic Pictures kon bokser Joe Louis niet tekenen voor een filmcontract en moest het doen met de verliezers van Louis' zwaargewicht kampioenschapsgevechten. Een van hen was Billy Conn, die, nadat hij in de 13e ronde door Louis was uitgeschakeld, ontwaakte om te schitteren in de The Pittsburgh Kid. In het verhaal wordt de strakke bokser Conn (die zichzelf speelt) beheerd door de mooie Patricia Mallory.
