Curiozități

Killer McCoy is a 1947 American sports drama film about a boxer starring Mickey Rooney. It is a remake of The Crowd Roars (1938). The picture was directed by Roy Rowland with a supporting cast featuring Brian Donlevy, Ann Blyth, James Dunn, Tom Tully, and Sam Levene.

Production

MGM announced the film in March 1947. Mickey Rooney had intended to appear in a biopic of jockey Tod Sloan but when that was postponed MGM put him in this. Cyril Hume wrote the script and Sam Zimbalist was assigned to produce. It was a conscious decision on MGM's part to try Rooney in a different sort of role. Elizabeth Taylor was announced as his costar. In May Frederick Hazlitt Brennan signed to write the script.
