Day of the Fight is an American short subject documentary film shot in black-and-white and also the first picture directed by Stanley Kubrick. Kubrick financed the film himself, and it is based on his pictorial for Look Magazine (January 18, 1949) entitled Prizefighter.
Kubrick and Alexander Singer (who acted as assistant director and a cameraman for this film) used daylight-loading Eyemo cameras that take 100-foot spools of 35mm black-and-white film to shoot the fight, with Kubrick shooting hand-held (often from below) and Singer's camera on a tripod.
The film cost Stanley Kubrick $3,900 to make and he sold it to RKO for $4,000.
