The Ring

The Ring

Synopsis

A love triangle melodrama set in the world of boxing: the title refers not just to the boxing ring, but to the wedding ring which unites up-and-coming contender Jack 'One Round' Sander (Carl Brisson) and his girlfriend Mabel (Lilian Hall-Davis), and to the threat to their relationship symbolised by an arm bracelet given to Mabel by Jack's rival Bob (Ian Hunter). The Ring contains a number of the visual flourishes that would appear throughout the director's formative pictures and is also Hitchcock's only original screenplay.
