AmericanCaesar Salad presents: John Huston made "Fat City" in 1973 ostensibly about prizefighting, but it's really about alcoholism's pernicious effect on the soul. I compare it to Lionel Rogosin's 1956 docudrama "On the Bowery."

AmericanCaesar Salad is a ten-episode series of video essays by Bill Scurry, podcaster, film critic, and curator of AmericanCaesar Enterprises.
