    Haven't been able to see it yet!😧

    I was on the set of this movie when part of it was being made in Toronto. It was very exciting. I was cast as one of the extras who had to run up to the boxing ring and take pictures. Now this is going back. To 1979 at least,when I lived in Ontario.

    Since then I have not seen it on. any TV station all this time! The producer was lavender something or other and obviously he was an unknown.i would of loved to see if I could spot myself in this movie among all the other extras ...its a shame I couldn't even see this once! 😠

    If anyone reading this review can let me know where on the Internet or what stations on TV have played this movie at any Time, I would appreciate it! They probably trashed it cause it turned out to be a waste of film! Lol Only good thing about this movie is that I had a chance to see tony Curtis in person 😋

    This movie definitely did not do tony Curtis' great acting career and ability any justice.

    Why can't I see this movie on this website?

    This movie was listed in this website,so I thought would finally be able to see it after 40 years. I was a special business extra in this movie and I never had a chance to see it yet!

    naff boxing movie...Rocky fans steer clear

    Title Shot is extremely bad. It looks cheap and amateurish and has a confusing script, which seems just about impossible for a boxing movie, since the sport itself is so primitive and straightforward. Even worse, there are even a couple of familiar faces in it, which indicates that it isn't just a quick and crap drive-in kind of flick, but a major production that went sadly awry. The plot involves corruption at a heavyweight bout in Canada, but the fight takes place in a near deserted and rather cold looking hall, not entirely dissimilar to a church hall. There's also something about fixed betting, and one character who believes that by getting a computer to figure out all sorts of statistics, it is possible to predict the outcome of sporting contests. I loathed this movie. It was a real waste of time and I'd like to save anyone else the time of having to sit through it and tolerate it's nonsensnsical storyline and dismal performances.
