Fat City - John Huston is a great return to directorial form - inspired and daring cinematography by Conrad Hall...and wonderful, nuanced work from Stacy Keach and Jeff Bridges as fighters in the crest and valley of their fight careers. It is a simple story about small time people, with simple dreams and not much skill or ability to achieve them. I love these characters simply because they are so far removed from the Rocky archtype. These guys will never get their title shot...
