Annoyingly pretentious, heavy-handed narration. Furthermore, the visuals (the fighter's expressions mainly) seldom seemed to have anything to do with all that gloom-and-doom talk. We certainly learned that much of a boxer's life is spent waiting...and waiting...and waiting. Best part was the fight itself--tautly etched, with some cool camera angles (and at last no Douglas Edwards...although he regretably couldn't resist returning for one last-minute Jack-Londonesque wrapup).

It shows the pre-fight ritual of an Irish boxer. An interesting start of Kubrick.

As a boxing fan it appeals to me. It's not a mind-blowing short, but it's solidly made.

Fairly standard. It sets up Kubrick's auteur theme.

Somewhat interesting, more for its context than its subject. On a technical level it's very impressive. Lots of great photography.

26 Ocak 08 & Kubrick'in ilk kisa filmi "Flying Padre" 'den daha uzun ve daha basarili.iki kisa filmde, ayni stilde -profil, belgesel- olsada, "Day of the Fight" icerik bakimdan daha zengin.ilginc bir calisma ve o doneme gore de "iyi" sayilabilecek bir kisa film.

As a short look at boxing it works even if it's nothing spectacular.

Quite forgettable but interesting to see where Kubrick started.
