The Friday Play: The Harder They Fall

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

A budding playwright is fatally drawn to the low-life world of boxing in this larger-than-life story of greed and corruption, ripped from a 1950s tabloid. A cast of Broadway actors star in Kerry Shale's dramatisation of Budd Schulberg 's classic novel, recorded in New York.
