Wall of Death (UK: There is Another Sun)

The 1951 Brit noir (US: WALL OF DEATH; UK: THERE IS ANOTHER SUN) stars a young Lawrence Harvey, Maxwell Reed and Susan Shaw.
The US title, WALL OF DEATH is much more descriptive of the film since there is a carnival attraction of the same name. THERE IS ANOTHER SUN is a bit more abstract.
Harvey and Reed are buds with Harvey pursuing a boxing career and can't-stay-out-of-trouble Reed a racer, hence his nickname "Racer".
Shaw is a mutual love interest and she finally decides on Harvey--the wiser choice.
Harvey can't seem to tear himself from Reed's less than honorable machinations and so trouble ensues.
Keaney gives it a 2.5 which I would say is just a bit high. I'm closer to the IMDb 6.0.
Interestingly, in one of the fight scenes Harvey looks like he actually knows how to throw a punch. Have no idea if he had done any boxing previously.
