You can find it free online if you search around 😎


Actually, that one was on the list (see link) but I excluded it for two reasons. One is that it's such an old movie I figured most on here hadn't seen it. (Not everyone is into old classics). But the biggest reason is that boxing movie fight scenes tend to get worse and more fake looking the further back you go. And since the thread is about actors as boxers, I figured it wasn't even worth giving ol' Paul Newman a mention.

But you're right... top film, top acting (Newman was brilliant in all his roles), and a true story. Good to see someone appreciates ancient movies like that.
