(más)Reseñas (1)
The television biography of Jack Dempsey (1895-1983), the first World Heavyweight Boxing Champion, is as good as films like Ring of Passion about the fights between Schmeling and Louis, or the life story of Marion Davies in The Hearst and Davies Affair. These grand stories from pre-war popular culture were still vibrant then, setting the stage for cinematic retellings. Dempsey's story had it all. Raised by Mormons, he had a sports career, and married film actresses Estelle Taylor and Hannah Williams. He acted in movies, ran a restaurant, and wrote the memoir "Championship Fighting: Explosive Punching and Aggressive Defense, How to Fight Tough a DEMPSEY". Even during World War II, he didn't slack off. What more could you want? Treat Williams in the lead role? You got it.
