Description

A vintage foreign movie poster of ''Hard Times'', released in 1975, is an American drama film directed by Walter Hill in his directorial debut. The film stars Charles Bronson as the main character, Chaney. Set in the Great Depression era, the story revolves around Chaney, a drifter who arrives in Louisiana looking to make some quick money.

Chaney, a street fighter, teams up with a fast-talking promoter named Speed, played by James Coburn. Together, they navigate the underground fighting circuit during this economically tough period. The film is notable for its realistic and gritty depiction of street fighting and the tough life during the Depression.

The character of Chaney is a man of few words but great physical prowess, embodying the tough, silent archetype that Charles Bronson was known for in his film roles. The film explores themes of survival, the pursuit of prosperity during hard times, and the raw human nature exhibited in the underground world of bare-knuckle fighting.

"Hard Times" was well-received for its action sequences, Bronson's performance, and its authentic portrayal of the Depression-era South. It's often remembered as one of the key films in Bronson's career, showcasing his tough-guy persona and acting abilities. The movie also marked Walter Hill's emergence as a significant director in the action genre.
