Deep End (1970)

I think I first heard Kevin Kellam use the term "rope a dope" to describe The Lower Depths.  Start out slow, almost too slow, bide your time, then WHAM!  Did you doubt me as a director?  HA!  I AM THE GREATEST!

The risk that goes with that strategy is that you have to win by knockout.  Otherwise, as is the case with Deep End, you just end up falling too far behind on the scorecards.
