Content:
’One Round’ Jack Sander is the star attraction of a travelling fair, an amateur boxer who is confident he can hold anyone for one round in the boxing ring. His luck holds until the day he is beaten by a professional boxer named Bob Corby. With his winnings, Corby buys an expensive bracelet for Jack’s fiancée, Mabel, and Jack’s reward is the offer of a trial fight, which opens up the prospect of a lucrative boxing career. When he wins his trial fight, Jack marries Mabel and begins work as a professional boxer. Whilst Jack is busy winning matches, Mabel has started to have an affair with Bob Corby. When he discovers his wife’s infidelity, Jack looks forward to the day when he will face Corby in the boxing ring ... "The Ring" marked the beginning of a new phase in the career of Alfred Hitchcock. It was his first film for British International Pictures, the studio that successfully lured him away from Michael Balcon’s company Gainsborough ... "The Ring" is unique in that it was the only film for which Hitchcock wrote an original screenplay - in collaboration with his wife, Alma Reville, who had a major (and usually uncredited) input into most of his films.
