The Big Chance were it not for the presence of 13 year old Mickey Rooney in a supporting role would have been consigned to the Hollywood dustbin years ago. The film was produced by a poverty row outfit called Eagle Studios and it shows.<br/><br/>Johnny Darrow who plays the lead is a young boxer who&#39;s being built up as a contender by a crooked promoter with a series of set up wins. The promoter Matthew Betz has it in mind that Darrow get a match with the champion and then it would be Darrow&#39;s turn to dive. Just make it all look good.<br/><br/>Things do go awry when Darrow meets and falls for country girl Merna Kennedy who starts keeping company with him even though she has a bible beating father who when he first meets Darrow objects to him doing road work on the Sabbath. Kennedy&#39;s younger brother Mickey Rooney comes to idolize Darrow as well, all of these people not realizing Darrow is not on the up and up.<br/><br/>The Big Chance will follow in the normal parameters of boxing films. If this had been done at Warner Brothers James Cagney would have been the star. Its lack of production values don&#39;t warrant it given much of a rating. However with the presence of the eternal Mick in the cast The Big Chance will be preserved and seen for generations.
The trouble with this old film, is that the basic premise has been done so many times since. The underdog with the final chance of glory or redemption gets to do so in the end. Most noticeably of all in the first &#39;Rocky&#39; film and all the following (far too) many sequels.<br/><br/>I saw this on a &#39;3 Classic Films on 1 DVD&#39; cheapie and none of them were classics of any description! But they did pass the time amiably and this one was the shortest running of the three. For the time it was made and the minuscule money spent, it works well enough. <br/><br/>Taken from an old (out of copyright) print, the DVD copy here skipped in parts and some dialogue was lost but not enough to make any difference, films were made fast and cheap in the old days! This would have been very much a B-movie filler when it was made, like the straight-to-video/DVD of today and it would be unfair to expect too much of quality there.<br/><br/>There is more interest here in the sexual mores of the day, a police officer coming over to the hero&#39;s car while he is with his girlfriend, telling him not to &#39;carry on.&#39; He was kissing her...<br/><br/>Or the &#39;bad girl&#39; in the film, name of &#39;Babe,&#39; who really is a floozy as she is still sleeping in bed in late morning. What a complete slut! lol. Of course, this was movie shorthand for the time, that this was a wicked woman who was no good. How times have changed when they want to show how bad a woman can be nowadays.
