The Basketball Fix (1951) Crime, Drama, Film-Noir

🏀💉👈😀
BASKETBALL FIX

Why is it that what’s supposed to be fun is made into a cheating zone. Damn, be a real sportsman; refused to join in!

For a B picture, not bad. But the melodrama is ridiculous. Crooked play is as old as sport itself, as far back as ancient Greece and probably farther.

Classic , " Johnny, Johnny, oh why didnt you tell me Johnny" flick. 6.5 stars outta 10.
Film was made immediately following the CCNY Basketball point shaving scandal in 1950, CHEERS

Trying to get college players their due, even way back then. Decades upon decades of theft 😔

Jimmy the GREEK" would love this!!

fun fact. This movie came out the same year(1951)the Rochester Royals; now the Sacramento Kings won, so far, their only NBA championship. Red Holzman, future New York Knickerbocker coach played on that team. Oh yeah. The ROYALS/KINGS beat the Knicks for that championship, 4 games to 3. It was the Knicks`s 1st of 3 straight finals appearances(1951-1954) & wouldn`t win the chip until the 1969 -70 with Holzman coaching.

It`s aROTTEN FEELING'! when you SELL OUT! I wouldn`t know because I never tried tho offers had been approached to me before. This movie is a GREAT LESSON'! to all of of us who GO THAT EXTRA MILE, SECOND, or KILOMETER. DONT EVER GIVE UP! &. As my PERSONAL'! motto goes: "Life is a MARATHON. Not a SPRINT"!!!!

Carmine Lupertazzi was a great man.

What's it gonna be Johnny?
