Los golpes bajos

Los golpes bajos (The Low Blows) is a 1974 Argentine film directed by Mario Sábato.

The film stars Aldo Barbero, Héctor Alterio, Walter Vidarte and Ana María Picchio.

[4] Set in the early Peron era, this rise and fall of a boxer is visibly inspired by the biography of José María Gatica and his experiences.

Rómulo Berruti in Clarín stated that it was a film intended to be a review of the Peronist regime, using the drama of a boxer as a "pivot".

[4] Luis Trelles Plazaola in his book South American Cinema/ Cine De America Del Sur: Dictionary of Film Makers describes Los golpes bajos as a "film of greater weight and thematic ambition".
