On the whole I don't get men's fascination with dog fighting, or fighting of any kind but I think something ignored in this movie was the fact that this fictional man Walker Payne, cared more for his dog than he cared for his two daughters. The daughters were also miscast as caring for a man who showed little interest in them. The mother is shown as a shallow woman who could be bought over by little money just to get out of a miserable existence in rural Illinois in 1957. As I come from that generation and time I find the story a little bit to take. Just another bunch of cockamamie blarney from Hollywood. Did anyone connected with this movie ever live in 1957 (or before)? I watched this on TMN and at first I was disgusted but watched because of the outstanding performance of Sam Shepard.

I agree that the fights in the box were pretty detailed, but it wasn't the focal point of this film. This film had alot of heart to it. Glad it made it out to DVD Great film.
