Max Baer misrepresented

Rating: 7/10 (15 January 2006)

This movie is really charming and enjoyable. But it totally misrepresents Baer. Consider two facts:
-Baer killed one guy, not two. He was haunted by this for the rest of his life and paid for his victim's children's education.
-Baer, though a Catholic, wore a Star of David to show solidarity with the the Jews during his fight with Max Schmeling, who he beat much to the Nazi's annoyance.

I don't think it was necessary to wrongfully represent Baer to sell Braddock as a hero.
