World In My Corner is a rare Audie Murphy film where he is neither a soldier, nor in a western. It is also rare because there are few comments here about it. The one thing about it is, it is one of a number of Murphy movies where he is not completely likable and you do not know how he will turn out. Here Murphy plays Tommy Shea, a boxer who has to decide if he wants to be a champion by doing it the right way ( with his honest and decent trainer) or the wrong way with the mob. This is actually a good boxing movie ( especially in the ring), although it is not a classic like City of Conquest or Rocky. Spoilers ahead: Does Tommy do the right thing and win the fight and Barbara Rush? Of course he does, but how and why is why you watch. 7/10 stars.
