[Graybeard]

1. Bogart's final film.

At 10PM it's The Harder They Fall (1956) and it is a must see.

The story of a heavyweight boxer of limited ability who is caught up in the slimy, corrupt world of prizefighting. Bogie plays a down and out ex-sportswriter who is hired by a promoter to help in the phony hype to raise the boxer to championship level.

Bogart is fabulous and he couldn't have asked for a better final scene (in the cab with the fighter) to cap his career.
