Chaney
Even though Charles Bronson was already in his early 50’s, this was when he finally became a movie star; though perhaps not a well respected one. This wasn’t a guy you expected to sit in the Actor’s Studio chair, nor did you really want him to. You wanted Bronson to beat the snot out of people, and in Hard Times, he plays Chaney, a bare fisted fighter in the Depression Era who beat people up. There you go, that’s the plot and isn’t that enough?
