Smoke & Territory · 1977 · Classic
The Von Krane Invasion
The Von Krane Family vs. Territory All-Stars
Municipal Auditorium, Tulsa
Two pale brothers in black boots, introduced as if they had crossed an ocean to take the territory's belt home. The crowd does not buy the story and buys the fight anyway. Boone Harlan, not yet champion, is the one who will not stay in his corner.
Program notes
This is the tape people mean when they say 'Friday night on Channel 36.' The woodgrain is the television. The smoke is the building.

House historian
A late-night call of this film — why it played then, and why it still plays for whoever is on the couch.
