Hard Times Summary
MPAA Rating: PG
Director: Walter Hill
Genres: Action, Drama
Rating:
Also known as The Streetfighter, Hard Times stars Charles_Bronson as Chaney, an aging bare-knuckle boxer, trying to scratch out a living in the middle of the Depression. "Speed" (James_Coburn) is the two-bit promoter who books Chaney in the tank towns of the South and Midwest. He is briefly reinvigorated by an affair with the lovely Lucy (Jill_Ireland, Mrs._Bronson in real life), but it's back to the seedy realm before too long. Hard Times represented the directorial debut of Walter_Hill, who even at this early stage demonstrated the gritty verisimilitude that he'd bring to such future projects as The_Warriors (1979) and 48_Hrs. (1984). Hal Erickson, Rovi
