The Set-Up
ActionCrimeDrama73 min
A boxer goes into what he expects will be another loss, unaware that his manager has already taken a bribe from a betting gangster and sold the outcome behind his back. Robert Ryan is the fighter at the center of the deal, with Audrey Totter in the anxious world around him. The film stays close to the ring and its corridors, where bruised pride, small-time gambling, and backroom arrangements all press in before the opening bell.
