Bogie was great in it as always. I still can't entirely forgive Budd for naming names in front of HUAC. Of course, if he hadn't, then "Waterfront" and "The Harder" may never have been made - but principles and brotherhood are important. "On the Waterfront" portrays an informant in the most sympathetic possible light. Arthur Miller then responded with "The Crucible" which depicted victims of an earlier era's witch trials. “The Harder They Fall” is an excellent boxing film from the “50′s based on a Schulberg novel.
