MBFF Presents ~ SWING BOUT @ 2:30pm

  • Vogue Theater 3290 Sacramento Street San Francisco, CA, 94115 United States (map)



Irish woman boxer “Terrible Toni Gale,” whose gangster promoters offer her ten grand to take a dive against Vicious Vicky. She wants to win, to contend for a title. So, she has a dilemma: Money for getting knocked out or a shot at the bigtime? The action takes place not in the ring as you’d expect but in the bowels of the arena in Cork, as confined as Toni’s choices. The cinematography is lavish focusing on Toni’s flaming eyes, her gloves and locker room– the essence of boxing. The suspense lasts until the end. Does she or doesn’t she?
