The magisterial John Huston (The African Queen), working from Leonard Gardner’s screen adaptation of his own novel, gives us the 1972 boxing drama Fat City, the story of two boxers, one an old-timer (Stacy Keach, End of the Road) on his way down, the other (Jeff Bridges, The Fisher King), a hopeful striving for the top.
