  Legendary director John Ford brings his clean, visually poetic style to Flesh, guiding Wallace Beery (in the year of his Best Actor Oscar win for The Champ) and Karen Morley (Scarface) to some of the finest work of their careers.  As touching as it is uncompromising, Flesh takes its characters to the dark regions of their souls … and ends with a quiet, unforgettable scene that offers a hope for redemption.

No Holds Barred
[Feature film, 1952]
  This "Bowery Boys" entry is an on-target satire of TV wrestling (which, if anything, is even sillier in the 1990s than it was in 1952).  Through a freak of nature, Sach Jones [Huntz Hall] develops a cranium so hard that it is impervious to pain.  Capitalizing on this phenomenon, Sach's pal Slip Mahoney [Leo Gorcey] enters Sach in a wrestling match, during which his great strength re-manifests itself in his fingers.  With each subsequent wrestling bout, Sach's super strength shifts to another part of his body. When slated to take on real-life wrestler Hombre Montana in the ring, Sach nearly meets his Waterloo until the last moment, when he develops extra-human strength in his backside.
  Never believable for a single moment, No Holds Barred is one of the best and funniest of the 48 "Bowery Boys" films.
  Wrestlers making guest appearances include Henry Kulky (as Mike the Mauler), Pat Fraley (as himself), Brother Frank Jares (as himself), John Smith (as himself), Hombre Montana (as himself), Ted Christy (as himself), and Mike Ruby (referee).

The Sport Parade
[Feature film, 1932]
  Dartmouth football stars Sandy Brown and Johnny Baker follow different paths after college: Baker becomes a sports reporter, while pal Brown chases the money of the pro wrestling game, but ends up as a wrestler with big debts after becoming involved with crooked promoters.  Irene Stewart is the woman that comes between them, and a bored radio announcer adds the few light moments as he follows their careers.  The best moments belong to Robert Benchley as a sublimely inaccurate radio sportscaster.
  Sport Parade was co-written by the prolific Corey Ford, who later cheerfully admitted he knew nothing about the subject of wrestling, but was just following studio orders by churning out this indifferent little charade.  The film includes location shots of New York City in 1932.
  The film has become famous for certain Pre-Code scenes, including William Gargan [Baker] snapping a wet towel at Joel McCrea [Brown] in a scene where football players can be seen taking a shower in the background.

La Lotta (Wrestling)
[Documentary, 1961]
  "Wrestling" (original French title: La Lotta) is a 1961 documentary film about professional wrestling in Montreal, co-directed by Michel Brault, Marcel Carrière, Claude Fournier and Claude Jutra.  No narration, only direct sound and silent-film-style inter-titles.
  "Wrestling" was shot in the Montreal Forum, where major bouts were staged, as well as wrestling parlors where would be wrestlers learned and practiced their craft.  The film shows the wrestling arena to be a sort of modern day shrine, with wrestling and its rituals taking the place of religion in the then-recently secularized Quebec.
  The filmmakers had intended to make a film exposing, in slow motion, the fakery of professional wrestling, until a chance encounter with French philosopher Roland Barthes changed their minds.  Barthes was appalled by what they were planning to do, and spoke urgently about the beauty and social role of pro wrestling in the lives of ordinary people.  Persuaded by Barthes, the filmmakers set out to make a film that captured the spectacle of the sport, without judging it.
  A behind-the-scenes look is shown at the staging and choreography of the spectacular shows, and the preparation of the wrestling stars who perform them.  During the show the filmmakers are just as interested in the spectators, who identify with the heroes of the ring, as the match itself.  Their emotions mimic the drama unfolding on the stage, which they know is fake, but allow themselves to be swept away with the showmanship, regardless.  The main event features fan-favorite wrestler Edouard Carpentier.  Also in the film are the after-show locker room reactions of the performers and the back-street wrestling parlors where the craft is learned and practiced.
  Wrestling was produced by Jacques Bobet for the French program branch of the National Film Board of Canada.

Bodyhold
[Feature film, 1949]
  The TV-generated popularity of professional wrestling in 1950 inspired a brief cycle of inexpensive films on the subject.  Columbia's C-plus "Bodyhold" borrows the old Kid Galahad formula of a naive young man becoming a wrestler by accident, only to be exploited by crooked promoters.  Willard Parker plays a plumber named Tommy Jones, who gets roped into the world of professional wrestling and manages to remain true to his morals in spite of his seedy surroundings.  He is brought in by Charlie Webster [Roy Roberts], a manager of some questionable character, as a replacement for an injured wrestler challenging for the world title. To his surprise, he finds out that the wrestling business is not exactly on the level, and he refuses to throw his match.  As Webster plans to incapacitate Jones, the plumber-turned-wrestler's girlfriend tries to expose the pernicious manager's intentions — and uncovers the fact that Webster had taken out Jones' predecessor in a similar fashion.
  The film features performances by wrestlers Henry Kulky (as Mike Kalumbo), Wee Willie Davis (as Harold Hocksteader, aka Azusa Assassin), Billy Varga (as Marvelous Milton), Ken Ackles (as Terre Haute Terror), Sammy Menacker (as Red Roman), and Ed "Strangler" Lewis (referee).

513 GRUNT

[Feature film, 1985]

  A documentary crew sets out to unravel one of professional wrestling's most closely guarded secrets: is former champion "Mad Dog" Joe DeCurso, the baddest man in wrestling and the hottest heel in the biz.  Things are looking up for the Mad Dog as he takes on Skull Crusher Johnson for the world heavyweight championship until a freak incident occurs during the brutal fight for the gold.  Skull Crusher gets his head caught in the ring ropes as Mad Dog goes for a dropkick and is decapitated (sending his head flying into the crowd). Shocked by his actions and upset for being disqualified in his biggest match, Mad Dog goes missing.  Rumors of him hitting rock bottom and eventually killing himself by jumping off the Bay Bridge in Oakland California begin to surface.

  Flash forward six years later.  The title is vacant and a new champion will be decided in a battle royal.  Enter Leslie Uhgums, who is making a documentary on a new wrestling phenomenon named the Mask, whom many people speculate may be Mad Dog Decurso under a new moniker.  One of these believers is Dr. Tweed, president of the Mad Dog is The Mask Fan Club. Leslie and Tweed hit the road to investigate and get to the bottom of the speculation.  After interviewing many fans, doctors, wrestlers and trainers, they question Lola, Joe's ex-manager and girlfriend who wants nothing to do with the film.  After hitting a dead end, the film makers go to a wrestling show where Mask is taking on The Grunt brothers in a handicap match. Afterwards, the two meet up with Joe's old high-school wrestling coach, where they see a young Decurso donning a mask that bears a strong resemblance to the one worn by the Mask.

  Cheesy?  Campy?  Silly?  Absolutely!  But a whole lot of fun and great wrestling action that will take you back to a long-gone era.
