His wife, Julie, fears that this fight may be his last and wants him to forfeit the match. Tiny, Stoker's manager, is sure he will continue to lose fights, so he takes money for a "<a href="/wiki/Match_fixing" title="Match fixing">dive</a>" from a mobster. He is so certain of Stoker's failure that he does not inform the boxer of the set-up. </p><p>Stoker and Julie passionately debate whether he should participate in the fight. Julie tells him that she has a headache and won't attend. Stoker says that winning tonight's fight might let him "get a top spot" in his next fight, a fight which might pay him $500 or $600. A $500 prize could allow them to buy a cigar stand or invest in another boxer, Tony Martinez, and start a new life. Julie says she cares more about his well-being than money, but Stoker responds: "If you're a fighter, you gotta fight." </p><p>After Stoker departs for the arena, Julie continues to struggle with her fear and desire to support him. Ultimately she doesn't use her ticket to the event, and instead roams the streets surrounding the arena. </p><p>At the beginning of the fourth round of what is a vicious match with the much younger and heavily favored Tiger Nelson, Stoker learns about the fix. Even though he is told that Little Boy, a feared gangster, is behind the set-up, he refuses to give up the fight. </p><p>Stoker wins the vocal support of blood-thirsty fans who had at first rooted against him. He eventually defeats Nelson. Stoker pays for his decision with a beating in an alley outside the arena. The group irreparably damages Stoker's hand by smashing it with a brick. </p><p>Stoker staggers out of the alley and collapses into Julie's arms. "I won tonight," he tells her, both of them realizing he can never fight again. "Yes," she answers. "You won tonight. We both won tonight." </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cast">Cast</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Set-Up_(1949_film)&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Cast"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1184024115">.mw-parser-output .div-col{margin-top:0.3em;column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .div-col-small{font-size:90%}.mw-parser-output .div-col-rules{column-rule:1px solid #aaa}.mw-parser-output .div-col dl,.mw-parser-output .div-col ol,.mw-parser-output .div-col ul{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .div-col li,.mw-parser-output .div-col dd{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}</style><div class="div-col" style="column-width: 25em;min-width: min(25em, 100%);"> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Robert_Ryan" title="Robert Ryan">Robert Ryan</a> as Bill "Stoker" Thompson</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Audrey_Totter" title="Audrey Totter">Audrey Totter</a> as Julie Thompson</li> <li><a href="/wiki/George_Tobias" title="George Tobias">George Tobias</a> as Tiny</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Alan_Baxter_(actor)" title="Alan Baxter (actor)">Alan Baxter</a> as Little Boy</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Wallace_Ford" title="Wallace Ford">Wallace Ford</a> as Gus</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Percy_Helton" title="Percy Helton">Percy Helton</a> as Red</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Hal_Fieberling" class="mw-redirect" title="Hal Fieberling">Hal Fieberling</a> as "Tiger" Nelson</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Darryl_Hickman" title="Darryl Hickman">Darryl Hickman</a> as Shanley</li> <li>Kenny O'Morrison as Moore</li> <li><a href="/wiki/James_Edwards_(actor)" title="James Edwards (actor)">James Edwards</a> as Luther Hawkins</li> <li><a href="/wiki/David_Clarke_(actor)" title="David Clarke (actor)">David Clarke</a> as "Gunboat" Johnson</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Phillip_Pine" title="Phillip Pine">Phillip Pine</a> as Tony Souza</li> <li><a href="/w/index.php?title=Edwin_Max_(actor)&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Edwin Max (actor) (page does not exist)">Edwin Max (actor)</a> as Danny</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Weegee" title="Weegee">Arthur 'Weegee' Fellig</a> (New York photographer) has a cameo as the timekeeper</li></ul></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Background">Background</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Set-Up_(1949_film)&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Background"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In 1947, almost two decades after March's poem was published, RKO paid him approximately $1,000 for the rights.<sup id="cite_ref-hudson_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-hudson-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Although March had nearly a decade of Hollywood writing credits during the 1930s, RKO did not ask him to adapt the poem.<sup id="cite_ref-hudson_1-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-hudson-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The screen adaptation included a number of alterations to the original text.<sup id="cite_ref-hudson_1-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-hudson-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The protagonist's name was changed from Pansy Jones to Stoker Thompson, his race was changed from black to white, he went from being a bigamist to being devotedly married and his beating and subsequent death on a subway track was changed to an alley assault and a shattered hand.
