Shadows of Noir

30 - The Set-Up

Dan & Marc Episode 30

Marc and Dan are back for another round as they dissect the 1949 boxing noir, The Set-Up. Expertly crafted by Robert Wise, this drama shows how the passage of time changes so much, yet certain elements of human nature can persist through the ages. With a standout performance from Robert Ryan, and wonderful supporting roles by several others, The Set-Up is a subtly complex story told through excellent acting and beautiful visual compositions.
