Dinner at the Sporting Club (1978)
Directed by Brian Gibson
Overview
John Thaw plays Vinny Mathews a small time boxing promoter who struggles with his conscience as to whether or not to provide a fighter for a Sporting Club promotion, a fighter he knows is unfit against an opponent who is way out of his league. However Mathews needs sponsorship and this would be the ideal opportunity to mix with the “frilly shirted” sportsmen who enjoy their lavish lifestyle as fighters slug it out as the steak is served!
