The final sequence (the Walter Cartier vs. Bobby James bout) was filmed live on April 17, 1950 by Stanley Kubrick and Alexander Singer.
The film premiered as part of RKO-Pathé's "This Is America" series and opened at the Paramount Theater in New York on April 26, 1951 as a short subject in a program featuring My Forbidden Past (1951). Headlining in a live stage show was Frank Sinatra, which also featured an appearance by blond bombshell Dagmar.
