Day of the Fight (1951)

Stanley Kubrick's debut documentary, following Irish-American middleweight boxer Walter Cartier on April 17, 1950—the day of his bout with Bobby James. The film traces Cartier's quiet morning rituals, training, and anxious hours before the match, culminating in his swift victory that night in Newark. Opening with a brief history of boxing, Kubrick's tightly crafted short captures the discipline, isolation, and tension behind a fighter's daily routine.

Already a genius, frightening is Kubrick's talent.

A very good short film by Mr. Stanley Kubrick, it shows very well done camera work and the story is very simple and straight forward but it keeps your attention the entire way through. Its entertaining and insightful. Good film.

Very well photographed. As an RKO short, this is fairly engaging even if hammers its macho existential metaphors a bit too much.

DAY OF THE FIGHT is a short documentary about a boxer named Walter Cartier as he goes about his day preparing for the fight that lies ahead. This film holds special historic value because it is the very first film from the legendary Stanley Kubrick. While it may not be of any great artistic value, it still holds a high level of importance, which is why it gets four stars.

Before he made excellent movies like "The Shining" and "Full Metal Jacket", Stanley Kubrick, then a student film maker made this documentary which follows the day of middleweight boxer Walter Cartier before the night of his big fight. "Day of the Fight" is a well made documentary that brings you into the life of a professional boxer.
