Produced from Hitchcock’s only original screenplay, two boxers are romantic rivals in this film. One can guess how they choose to resolve their differences.
“Set in the east end of London that Hitchcock knew so well, this silent drama plays out in the sleazy business of boxing, made sleazier by infidelity, ambition and rivalry. THE RING is a showcase for the young Hitchcock’s editing panache: the experimental, Soviet-influenced montage that would surface so violently in Psycho.” — Pamela Hutchinson and Tony Paley in The Guardian
