The Blu-Ray was developed as a high-definition successor to the DVD and offers a significantly increased data rate and storage capacity compared to its predecessor. Blu-Rays can therefore store movies with significantly better resolution and offer enormously high picture quality on corresponding screens. Blu-Ray players are usually backward compatible with DVDs, so that they can also be played.

Humphrey Bogart, Rod Steiger, and Mike Lane star in The Harder They Fall, a tough-as-nails film noir expose of corruption in the boxing world that would be Bogart's final film. Boxing promoter Nick Benko (Steiger) employs down-on-his-luck journalist Eddie Willis (Bogart) to promote his new signing, Toro Moreno (Lane), fixing fights across the country to ensure Toro appears to be a contender. But, when tragedy strikes, Willis threatens to expose the entire racket... Adapted by Philip Yordan from a novel by Budd Schulberg, and directed by Mark Robson, The Harder They Fall is a classic of Hollywood cinema, and a fitting swan song to Humprey Bogart's career.

Reviews
RoRoFilmlexikon: "Rigoros realistische Ringszenen und dramatische Spannung in der Verfilmung eines Romans von Budd Schulberg, die die kriminellen Boxgeschäfte grell beleuchtet."
