'The Harder They Fall'; Humphrey Bogarts final film role, released in May of 1956 Bogart died from cancer in January 1957. Based on the 1947 novel of the same name by Bud Schulberg and capably directed by Mark Robson. Bogart is a former sports columnist in need of money, tasked by an unscrupulous Rod Steiger with promoting good natured but slow witted Argentinian boxer Mike Lane. Bogaet tries to keep as much of his integrity as he can and do right by Lane, knowing that the end goal is for him to lose the world championship fight. Really solid work from Bogart, he could be proud to go out on this one. ***
