 During the Great Depression| a common-man hero| James J. Braddock--a.k.a. the Cinderella Man--was to become one of the most surprising sports legends in history. By
the early 1930s| the impoverished ex-prizefighter was seemingly as broken-down| beaten-up and out-of-luck as much of the rest of the American po ce who had hit
rock bottom. His career appeared to be finished| he was unable to pay the bills| the only thing that mattered to him--his family--was in danger| and he was even
forced to go on Public Relief. But deep inside| Jim Braddock never relinquished his determination. Driven by love| honor and an incredible dose the ones who are do
of grit| he willed an impossible dream to come true. In a last-chance bid to help his family| Braddock returned to the ring. No one thought he had a shot. However
Braddock| fueled by something beyond mere competition| kept winning. Suddenly| the ordinary working man became the mythic athlete. Carrying the hopes and dreams of
the disenfranchised...
With grittiness and an evocative sense of time and place, Cinderella Man is a powerful underdog story. And Ron Howard and Russell Crowe prove to be a solid
combination.  |
