Well, congratulations. |
00:03:39 |
And would you tell her... |
00:03:40 |

All right, see you, Frank. |
00:04:15 |
[Snickering] |
00:04:18 |
I could kill you! |
00:04:21 |
(Braddock) |
00:04:23 |
Yeah, I like |
00:04:26 |
Jimmy. |
00:04:27 |
My sister. |
00:04:29 |
Daddy, did we win? |
00:04:31 |
[Braddock grunting] |
00:04:33 |
Yeah, we won. |
00:04:35 |
(Braddock) |
00:04:37 |
(Alice) Good. That's wonderful, Jimmy. |
00:04:39 |
Hey, Howard. |
00:04:48 |
Thank you. |
00:04:49 |
So tell me about him. |
00:04:52 |
Was he a real slugger? |
00:04:56 |
You know, |
00:05:04 |
No. You get hit... |
00:05:07 |
every time, it feels |
00:05:12 |
And I'm not half as tough |
00:05:16 |
[Giggles] |
00:05:20 |
So, tell me about the girls. |
00:05:23 |
Girls? |
00:05:27 |
I was at the Garden, |
00:05:29 |
Come on. There was one. |
00:05:32 |
There must've been one. |
00:05:35 |
Blond? |
00:05:38 |
[Exclaiming] |
00:05:40 |
Tall? |
00:05:45 |
Like a gazelle. |
00:05:48 |
I don't know how it is |
00:05:51 |
Mr. Braddock! |
00:05:54 |
You're so strong! |
00:05:58 |
And your hands, |
00:06:03 |
You're so powerful! |
00:06:10 |
Jimmy, I'm so proud of you. |
00:06:15 |
I'm so proud of you. |

00:06:33 |

00:06:38 |

00:06:43 |
James J. Braddock. |
00:07:12 |
[Mae laughing] |
00:07:22 |
(Jay) |
00:07:25 |
[Mae whispering] Well, you |
00:07:28 |
Now you go back to sleep, |
00:07:31 |
Good night, Mom. |
00:07:32 |
Good night, sweetheart. |
00:08:18 |
[Sighing] |
00:08:39 |
I can't find my socks. |
00:08:41 |
Jim! |
00:08:45 |
Mama? |
00:08:47 |
Great. |
00:08:50 |
I washed them last night. |
00:08:54 |
Don't you remember? |
00:08:59 |
Well, you were out |
00:09:01 |
[Groaning] |
00:09:08 |
How do I keep them this warm? |
00:09:11 |
(Rosemarie) |
00:09:14 |
Mommy will get you some, |
00:09:19 |
Hey, Rosy-Rosy. |
00:09:27 |
Got a notice yesterday. |
00:09:32 |
Come on. |
00:09:33 |
Okey-dokey, there we go. |
00:09:38 |
[Footsteps marching] |
00:10:02 |
Well, I think |
00:10:06 |
(Mae) |
00:10:08 |
(Braddock) You know, I got that |
00:10:13 |
Yeah, one guy, Abe Feldman. |
00:10:16 |
That's $50, win or lose. |
00:10:18 |
That's good. |
00:10:20 |
If I beat him, maybe I can get |
00:10:23 |
That would be great. |
00:10:26 |
Rosy, use your fork, please. |
00:10:32 |
Who needs a cow, huh? |
00:10:35 |
Mama, I want some more. |
00:10:39 |
I'm sorry, sweetheart. We |
00:10:46 |
Here you go. |
00:10:49 |
You know, Mae, |
00:10:52 |
that I was having dinner |
00:10:54 |
With Mickey Rooney |
00:10:56 |
Really! |
00:10:57 |
And I dreamed I had a steak. |
00:11:01 |
Like this, Rosy. |
00:11:03 |
And then I had a mountain |
00:11:06 |
and I went back for ice cream |
00:11:09 |
I'm stuffed. |
00:11:11 |
I'm absolutely full. |
00:11:15 |
Want to give me a hand? |
00:11:17 |
(Mae) |
00:11:45 |

Let's try and sleep |

I need nine men and only nine. |

One. Two. Three. |

Hey, Dad. |

No shifts today, Dad? |

I'm being good. I'm being |

Great. |

Daddy! |

Hey, Rosy-cheeks. |
00:13:45 |
Daddy, Jay stole! |
00:13:47 |
What? |
00:13:59 |
What's all this about? |
00:14:01 |
Young lady, your brother's |
00:14:03 |
without you telling on him. |
00:14:07 |
It's from the butcher's. |
00:14:08 |
And he won't say a word |
00:14:11 |
Will you, Jay? |
00:14:17 |
Okay, pick it up. Let's go. |
00:14:21 |
Do not test me, boy. |
00:14:30 |
Howard, stay here. |
00:14:38 |
(man) Okay, let's go! Come |
00:14:48 |
Great, |
00:14:49 |
Bye. |
00:14:57 |
Don't forget to |
00:15:02 |
Marty Johnson had to go away to |
00:15:08 |
Why? |
00:15:09 |
His parents didn't have |
00:15:18 |
Yeah, well, things ain't easy |
00:15:22 |
But there's a lot of people |
00:15:28 |
And just 'cause |
00:15:30 |
that don't give you the excuse |
00:15:33 |
That's stealing, right? |
00:15:37 |
No matter what happens, |
00:15:39 |
Not ever. You got me? |
00:15:48 |
Are you giving me your word? |
00:15:51 |
Go on. |
00:15:58 |
And I promise you... |
00:16:02 |
we will never send you away. |

[Crying] |
00:16:10 |
It's okay, kid. |
00:16:12 |
You got a little scared. |

It's okay. |

[Grunting] |
00:16:32 |
[Men chattering] |
00:16:37 |
(Joe) |
00:16:40 |
Just plants himself there. |
00:16:42 |
So you just keep him steady. |
00:16:44 |
Keep him trapped in the middle. |
00:16:49 |
You know what to do. |
00:16:53 |
That guy's a bum. |
00:16:57 |
[Sighing] |
00:17:00 |
Two bits will |
00:17:03 |
And that guy gets to watch |
00:17:07 |
And I know I gotta take it from |
00:17:12 |
I see. |
00:17:14 |
Well, well, well. |
00:17:17 |
Pardon me, miss. Allow |
00:17:23 |
Mr. Abraham Feldman |
00:17:26 |
whose ass you should |
00:17:29 |
until it is humped up |
00:17:33 |
That is, if it doesn't offend |
00:17:36 |
God knows. |
00:17:39 |
[Moans] |
00:17:50 |
Now, you see, that break's |
00:17:53 |
I know. |
00:17:54 |
And you were gonna tell me |
00:17:56 |
It's gonna be fine. It's |
00:17:59 |
What the hell? |
00:18:00 |
What the hell kinda crap is |
00:18:06 |
I can't get any shifts. |
00:18:08 |
We ain't got any cash. |
00:18:13 |
I got it. |
00:18:18 |
Screw them. |
00:18:22 |
Thanks. |

Keep up. Stay up. |
00:18:28 |
Keep moving. |

00:18:33 |
with his long-time manager, |
00:18:36 |
(man) |
00:18:38 |
(announcer) |
00:18:39 |
(Joe) |
00:18:41 |
Jersey veteran |
00:18:42 |
is up against Hymie Caplin's |
00:18:44 |
young Abe Feldman |
00:18:47 |
(Joe) |
00:18:48 |
(announcer) Some might recall |
00:18:50 |
a light heavyweight |
00:18:53 |
His golden-boy peak ended |
00:18:56 |
handled Jim over 15 rounds |
00:19:00 |
Since then, |
00:19:02 |
has shown only a glimmer |
00:19:05 |
And the losses have started |
00:19:07 |
But Braddock continues |
00:19:11 |
And here comes |
00:19:14 |
Feldman looks to be |
00:19:16 |
and showed some real moxie in his recent win |
00:19:20 |
[People screaming] |
00:19:23 |
Hey, who whipped Latzo? |
00:19:26 |
I did. |
00:19:28 |
Who KO'ed Slattery |
00:19:30 |
when everybody said he didn't |
00:19:33 |
That'd have to be me, too. |
00:19:35 |
And we're supposed to pucker our |
00:19:38 |
The guy couldn't break wind. |
00:19:40 |
Hey, Jimmy. |
00:19:43 |
Anyplace else you'd rather be? |
00:19:46 |
No. |
00:19:47 |
Now, what are you |
00:19:51 |
(announcer) Here we are halfway |
00:19:53 |
[men screaming] |
00:19:55 |
The boys clinch again. |
00:19:56 |
Break it up. |
00:19:58 |
(Joe) He's crushing my guy. Get him off! |
00:20:00 |
[Crowd booing] |
00:20:02 |
(announcer) The boo-birds |
00:20:04 |
They want action |
00:20:06 |
Feldman sticks a left |
00:20:08 |
Braddock's right hand |
00:20:11 |
He'll show the left, but it lacks snap |
00:20:14 |
Come on, give these yokels |
00:20:17 |
Feldman ducks a haymaker |
00:20:21 |
[Booing] |
00:20:25 |
[Men chattering] |
00:20:28 |
(announcer) And another big right |
00:20:30 |
Now, there's the Braddock |
00:20:32 |
But it's one at a time. |
00:20:36 |
Come on! |
00:20:56 |
[Men screaming] |
00:21:03 |
[Bell ringing] |
00:21:05 |
(announcer) The referee pulls |
00:21:07 |
And there's the bell |
00:21:09 |
(Joe) |
00:21:13 |
I saw that. |
00:21:17 |
I'm calling it, Jim. |
00:21:23 |
You gonna use the left? |
00:21:25 |
You get in there but you |
00:21:27 |
You work his belly, you |
00:21:30 |
Last round. Come on, |
00:21:32 |
Give me a good one. You're |
00:21:34 |
Shut up. |
00:21:35 |
Work his belly with the left. |
00:21:38 |
Give him the flapdoodle with |
00:21:41 |
Right? |
00:21:43 |
Okay? Last round. |
00:21:45 |
Last round! Go get him! |
00:21:47 |
(Joe) |
00:21:49 |
[Crowd screaming] |
00:21:51 |
Damn it, I wish he could find |
00:21:54 |
(Joe) |
00:21:57 |
Southpaw, that's it! |
00:21:58 |
(announcer) Feldman prancing around, |
00:22:01 |
but still few clean punches |
00:22:04 |
Braddock still pawing away |
00:22:07 |
Another ineffectual left |
00:22:09 |
Braddock can hardly lift his arms. |
00:22:13 |
At least Gould in his corner |
00:22:16 |
trying to urge his man on. |
00:22:18 |
[Crowd screaming] |
00:22:21 |
[Yelling] |
00:22:24 |
[Crowd booing] |
00:22:28 |
(man) |
00:22:31 |
No holding, Braddock! |
00:22:32 |
(announcer) Cavanaugh's working harder |
00:22:36 |
Dry up! |
00:22:40 |
(announcer) |
00:22:41 |
It's as if 80 tough fights have finally jumped |
00:22:46 |
You're a bum! |
00:22:54 |
That's it! |
00:22:55 |
Cavanaugh pulls them apart, |
00:22:57 |
He's called the fight. |
00:22:59 |
It's a "no contest. " |
00:23:01 |
And the popcorn and the peanuts |
00:23:05 |
And I'm afraid to say that's all these |
00:23:08 |
for the show |
00:23:10 |
[Crowd booing] |
00:23:12 |
I'm telling you, it's sad to see |
00:23:16 |
the caliber of James Braddock |
00:23:19 |
It's all right, Jimmy. |
00:23:23 |
An embarrassment, |
00:23:24 |
An embarrassment! |
00:23:26 |
Where the hell's the purse? |
00:23:27 |
You wouldn't have |
00:23:29 |
if you gave a shit |
00:23:31 |
Okay. He's fighting hurt. |
00:23:35 |
Maybe you got a bunch of fat |
00:23:37 |
can afford to rest a month between |
00:23:41 |
Christ, he hardly gets |
00:23:43 |
Fights being stopped by |
00:23:47 |
(Johnston) Fights like |
00:23:53 |
We're revoking his license, |
00:23:56 |
Whatever Braddock was gonna do |
00:24:00 |
Wait a minute. |
00:24:08 |
[Whispering] |
00:24:15 |
Mr. Johnston! |
00:24:19 |
(Johnston) |
00:24:21 |
What's going on? |
00:24:23 |
You didn't tell him? |
00:24:26 |
He wanted to |
00:24:27 |
Come on, Mr. Johnston, |
00:24:30 |
I broke my hand. |
00:24:33 |
You don't see me |
00:24:35 |
I don't see what you got |
00:24:37 |
I still went out there, I still put |
00:24:42 |
You know, we did that |
00:24:44 |
me and Joe. Remember? |
00:24:47 |
I didn't quit on you. |
00:24:53 |
I didn't always lose. |
00:24:54 |
I won't always lose again. |
00:24:57 |
I can still fight. |
00:24:59 |
I can still fight. Go home |
00:25:04 |
Go home? Go home with what? |
00:25:07 |
Go home with what? A broken |
00:25:14 |
Mr. Johnston! |
00:25:34 |
[Door opening] |
00:25:50 |
Baby? |
00:26:00 |
What happened? |
00:26:02 |
I didn't get the dough. |
00:26:05 |
They didn't pay up. |
00:26:09 |
They called it a "no contest," |
00:26:14 |
They decommissioned me. |
00:26:20 |
Jimmy, |
00:26:21 |
It's broke again |
00:26:25 |
(Braddock) |
00:26:26 |
They said |
00:26:29 |
Mercy. |

Okay. |
00:26:42 |
Jimmy, if you can't work... |
00:26:44 |
we're not gonna be able to pay |
00:26:52 |
And we're out of credit |

They could stay at my sister's |

That way we could make |

They see me |

Not down the docks, |

And there's some other guy |
00:29:40 |
Can't fight for shit. |
00:29:42 |
Gambling man will lose |
00:29:49 |
[Braddock moaning] |
00:29:53 |
(Mike) |
00:29:55 |
You can't slow me down. |
00:29:58 |
I need the job, too. |

Even had a little |
00:31:07 |
I mean, who loses their dough |
00:31:10 |
Well, I thought that one |
00:31:14 |
You know, there's people living |
00:31:17 |
Call it the Hooverville. |
00:31:18 |
This government's |
00:31:21 |
We need to organize, you know? |
00:31:26 |
Fight? Fight what? |
00:31:27 |
Bad luck? Greed? Drought? |
00:31:31 |
No point punching things |
00:31:32 |
No, we'll work |
00:31:35 |
FDR, he's gonna handle it. |
00:31:38 |
FDR, Hoover, |
00:31:40 |
You know, I come home one day. |
00:31:43 |
And between the mortgage and the |
00:31:46 |
that was supposed |
00:31:48 |
it stopped being mine. |
00:31:51 |
It all stopped being mine. |
00:31:53 |
FDR ain't given me |
00:32:02 |
Mama, why can't I |
00:32:05 |
Is it because I'm a girl? |
00:32:07 |
(Mae) Maybe. Hadn't thought of that. |
00:32:15 |
Who's that man |
00:32:20 |
(Mae) |
00:32:24 |
Can I help you? |
00:32:26 |
I'm sorry, lady, |

[Panting] |
00:32:30 |
You can't. |
00:32:33 |

They already let two guys go. |
00:32:39 |
This apartment, it's what we got |

Lady, I got kids, too. |
00:32:57 |

Four months. $44.12. |

Go on, then! |
00:35:01 |
All right. Help me, |

Where are the kids? |
00:37:17 |
The boys will sleep on the |
00:37:20 |
And Rosy'll stay |
00:37:22 |
Jimmy, we can't keep 'em! |
00:37:23 |
You don't make decisions |
00:37:26 |
What if they get really sick? |
00:37:29 |
If you send them away, then |
00:37:31 |
It's just until we get back... |
00:37:34 |
If we can't stay together, |
00:37:36 |
That means we've given up! |
00:37:38 |
I'm trying to protect our |
00:37:42 |
Outside the butcher's. |
00:37:43 |
I looked him in the eyes... |
00:37:44 |
and I promised him |
00:37:46 |
I would never ever |
00:37:50 |
You can't do this. |
00:37:53 |
You weren't here. |
00:37:55 |
You can't break my promise. |
00:37:58 |
Jim, you didn't see. |

I'm sorry, Jimmy. |

What are you doing? |

Jim? |

Jimmy! Where you going? |
00:38:36 |
Where you going, Jimmy? |
00:38:57 |
(clerk) That doesn't qualify you, |
00:38:59 |

00:39:02 |
I got a relief order |

She's still nursing the baby |

You know, they keep cutting |

I went on public assistance. I |
00:41:31 |
They gave me $19. |
00:41:35 |
so I can pay the bill |
00:41:42 |
You know me well enough to know |
00:41:47 |
I wouldn't be here. |
00:41:53 |
If you could help me through this |

Griffin's opponent got cut, |

So they had to find somebody they |
00:48:26 |
Nobody legit would... |

Nobody would take a fight |

Things are uptempo right away. |
00:54:11 |
Come on, Braddock, |
00:54:20 |
Get out of it! Get out, Jimmy! |
00:54:23 |
(Bond) Braddock takes a left |
00:54:24 |
and a hard right to the head! |
00:54:26 |
Braddock's giving ground now. |
00:54:28 |
A hard right! |
00:54:29 |
Pins him in |
00:54:31 |
Get outta there, Jim! Get out! |
00:54:33 |
Griffin's all over him! |
00:54:35 |
Braddock taking hard jabs. |
00:54:36 |
[Crowd screaming] |
00:54:39 |
And Braddock is down. |
00:54:40 |
Shut up! I wanna hear this! |
00:54:43 |
(Joe) Jim? You're fine. Stay down. |
00:54:55 |
One. Two. |
00:54:58 |
Three. Four. |
00:55:00 |
I liked the left. Try two lefts. Five. |
00:55:03 |
Give him two lefts! |
00:55:04 |
Pop, pop! Double it up. |
00:55:06 |
How 'bout it? Up, up. |
00:55:08 |
What the hell are you doing? |
00:55:10 |
Nine. |
00:55:11 |
Yeah, come on, Jimmy! |
00:55:14 |
(Bond) |
00:55:17 |
Move in on that. |
00:55:18 |
Nice move! |
00:55:20 |
Bring him in! |
00:55:24 |
(Bond) |
00:55:26 |
[Bell rings] |
00:55:27 |
Welcome to New York. |
00:55:29 |
(Joe) |
00:55:31 |
That's more like it! |
00:55:34 |
You look great! |
00:55:36 |
It sure as hell beats working |
00:55:40 |
Say, the two jabs look |
00:55:44 |
Now, he's loading up on you. |
00:55:47 |
He opens up after you jab him. You |
00:55:50 |
Real quick. |
00:55:52 |
But you gotta stop |
00:55:55 |
You see any |
00:55:57 |
Keep moving! |
00:55:59 |
[Crowd cheering] |
00:56:02 |
Griffin still winging |
00:56:04 |
He wants to be the first |
00:56:08 |
Braddock gets in |
00:56:11 |
Snapped Griffin's head back |
00:56:14 |
Come on! |
00:56:16 |
Griffin loading up. |
00:56:20 |
Move out! |
00:56:22 |
Another big flurry by Griffin! |
00:56:24 |
Braddock hanging tough but, folks, |
00:56:30 |
(Sporty) That's two rounds more |
00:56:33 |
He's a half a step behind you. |
00:56:37 |
Stick with it. |
00:56:39 |
(Angelo) |
00:56:40 |
[Bell rings] |
00:56:42 |
Six minutes of fury so far. |
00:56:45 |
Braddock has the look of a man |
00:56:50 |
Griffin hits him with a left. |
00:56:52 |
And Braddock is stepping |
00:56:57 |
(Joe) |
00:57:00 |
Lure him in, Jim. |
00:57:02 |
(Bond) Jimmy's finally |
00:57:05 |
Pick your spot! |
00:57:12 |
[Cheering] |
00:57:16 |
(Bond) |
00:57:18 |
[Crowd cheering] |
00:57:23 |
Where the hell have you been, |
00:57:26 |
(referee) |
00:57:30 |
(Bond) |
00:57:31 |
The referee wipes his gloves. |
00:57:41 |
That's it! |
00:57:44 |
Take it to him! |
00:57:46 |
Another big right by Braddock! |
00:57:48 |
(Joe) |
00:57:50 |
[Crowd screaming] |
00:57:53 |
[Groans] |
00:57:57 |
Knock him back |
00:58:02 |
Griffin is ready to go! |
00:58:05 |
Be careful. |
00:58:07 |
Get back. |
00:58:09 |
Get back there. |
00:58:17 |
Jimmy! |
00:58:19 |
[All cheering] |
00:58:21 |
This fight is over! |
00:58:24 |
[Bell ringing] Corn Griffin, the number two |
00:58:27 |
has just been knocked out by Jim Braddock |
00:58:30 |
What an upset! |
00:58:32 |
You son of a bitch! |
00:58:34 |
It's pandemonium here |
00:58:36 |
That's it, man, he did it! |
00:58:39 |
[Crowd cheering] |
00:58:40 |
(Joe) |
00:58:44 |
(Joe) Settle down, for Christ's sake! |
00:58:49 |
Jesus H. Christ! |
00:58:51 |
Jesus, Mary and Joseph, |
00:58:55 |
all the saints and martyrs |
00:58:58 |
Did I say "Jesus"? |
00:59:00 |
[Chuckling] |
00:59:01 |
Where the hell did |
00:59:03 |
I don't know. |
00:59:04 |
I had to work down on the |
00:59:07 |
So, what? |
00:59:09 |
Luck? |
00:59:12 |
Don't give me that |
00:59:14 |
Lucky? That's something you ain't |
00:59:17 |
Everybody's due. |
00:59:18 |
Due or not, I'll take it. |
00:59:20 |
The left. But you were bouncy. |
00:59:23 |
You were bouncing. |
00:59:26 |
Unbelievable. Sliding, |
00:59:30 |
I did that on hash. |
00:59:32 |
Imagine what I would've done to |
00:59:37 |
Jimmy? |
00:59:40 |
That was one hell of |
00:59:46 |
[Laughing] |

Here you go, fellas! |

Jesus Christ! |

(man #1) |
01:00:31 |
(man #2) |
01:00:33 |
This is fighting? |
01:00:34 |
Why doesn't he just hit him |
01:00:40 |
Griffin was supposed to fight |
01:00:43 |
He should kiss your ass for |
01:00:47 |
[Crowd screaming] |
01:01:03 |

(Frazin) |
01:01:28 |
the new heavyweight champion |
01:01:31 |
Max Baer! |
01:01:45 |
Come on! He's home. |
01:02:00 |
[Sighing] |
01:02:16 |
I won. |
01:02:18 |
(Jay) Hooray, he won! I knew you'd win! |
01:02:22 |
[Kids screaming] |
01:02:24 |
(Jay) |
01:02:27 |
[Braddock grunting] |
01:02:30 |
(Rosemarie) |
01:02:34 |
So was it like you said? Or |
01:02:40 |
No, baby. |
01:02:53 |
[Men chattering] |
01:02:57 |
(Jake) All right, I need |
01:03:00 |
One. Two. Three. |
01:03:09 |
Four. Five. |
01:03:14 |
Thanks. |
01:03:16 |
(Jake) |
01:03:24 |
Listened in last night. |
01:03:30 |
Yeah. |
01:03:31 |
Didn't think |
01:03:33 |
It came up at the last minute, |
01:03:35 |
It was a one-fight deal. |
01:03:37 |
My end of that was a little less |
01:03:40 |
We owed $118. |
01:03:43 |
Makes you a rich man, huh? |
01:03:46 |
Good fight. |
01:03:48 |
Dock seven. |
01:03:56 |
Hey, Jim. |
01:04:04 |
Good fight. |
01:04:11 |
I wouldn't have hit Sara. |
01:04:14 |
I couldn't live with myself |
01:04:19 |
Just get so angry |
01:04:25 |
You know, if you were gonna |
01:04:29 |
If I knew I was gonna win, |
01:04:32 |
Why can't you ever listen |
01:04:36 |
(man on radio) ...to determine whether |
01:04:39 |
to submit to |
01:04:42 |
Tension pervaded the New York |
01:04:45 |
(Mae) Why don't you go play |
01:04:48 |
Be careful. |
01:04:51 |
Hey, Rosy. |
01:04:54 |
[Kids chattering] |
01:04:59 |
You know, |
01:05:02 |
Yeah, I saw. |
01:05:07 |
He thinks the Commission |
01:05:12 |
reverse their ruling. |
01:05:13 |
He thinks he can get me |
01:05:16 |
He wants me to stop working |
01:05:21 |
I thought it was |
01:05:24 |
Well, yeah. |
01:05:29 |
He fronted us $175 |
01:05:35 |
You know what that is |
01:05:37 |
That's a second chance. |
01:05:40 |
That's what that is. |
01:05:45 |
It's not that |
01:05:50 |
or proud, honey. |
01:05:55 |
But we got off easy |
01:06:00 |
We're back to even now. |
01:06:01 |
Right. And nine months from |
01:06:04 |
Baby, please. |
01:06:05 |
We just don't have anything |
01:06:08 |
Mae. |
01:06:11 |
There's still some juice in these |
01:06:15 |
Baby, please. |
01:06:18 |
Just let me take them |
01:06:21 |
At least I know |
01:06:40 |
I'm gonna go |
01:06:42 |
Jay! Guess what. |
01:06:46 |
I got another fight! |
01:06:48 |
I don't know, but he's |
01:07:30 |
Jesus. |
01:07:33 |
Joe, open the door. |
01:07:38 |
(Mae) |
01:07:40 |
Don't hide in your fancy |
01:07:45 |
You are not gonna make my husband |
01:07:49 |
We are just getting by, and |
01:07:52 |
like some bloodsucking |
01:07:54 |
And I will not let you get |
01:07:57 |
do you hear me? |
01:08:03 |
Guess you better come in. |
01:08:17 |
(Joe) |
01:08:18 |
Too sweet per usual. |
01:08:20 |
Really? Go figure. |
01:08:23 |
(Joe) Yours? Nice, thanks. |
01:08:27 |
Sorry about that. |
01:08:32 |
You just don't want folks |
01:08:35 |
I didn't know. |
01:08:37 |
Yeah, no. That's the idea. |
01:08:46 |
[Clears throat] |
01:08:49 |
Sold the last of it |
01:08:52 |
So Jimmy could train. |
01:08:55 |
Why? |
01:09:02 |
Sometimes you have |
01:09:05 |
You see something |
01:09:10 |
You don't even know if it's real, |
01:09:21 |
Can't have no hope at all. |
01:09:24 |
But this is crazy. |
01:09:25 |
I mean, you don't even know |
01:09:28 |
I'll get him a fight. |
01:09:30 |
Believe me, if it's the last |
01:09:33 |
Honey. Go get us some |
01:09:37 |
She looks good |
01:09:54 |
Can you ever stop yours? |
01:09:57 |
When he sets his mind |
01:10:03 |
I wish I could. |
01:10:07 |
See, I never know |
01:10:09 |
them or us. |
01:10:11 |
We have to wait for them |
01:10:17 |
And every day... |
01:10:21 |
they feel like |
01:10:24 |
And really, it's just the |
01:10:31 |
[Sighing] |
01:10:34 |
This is a lovely apartment. Thank you. |
01:10:41 |
(Johnston) Now, what am I |
01:10:44 |
You saw the papers. |
01:10:46 |
News had to print extra |
01:10:49 |
People are sentimental, you |
01:10:52 |
Yeah, so tell me why I care. |
01:10:55 |
You're still sore over the way |
01:10:58 |
I can understand that. It was a |
01:11:01 |
Yes. But look. |
01:11:06 |
You got guys fighting |
01:11:08 |
over who gets a shot at Max Baer |
01:11:12 |
John Henry Lewis, |
01:11:14 |
Now, he already defeated |
01:11:19 |
Say you put Braddock back |
01:11:22 |
Lewis wins, you get your |
01:11:24 |
and your boy has gotten |
01:11:26 |
with full publicity before |
01:11:29 |
You make more money. |
01:11:34 |
Now, say on the other hand, by |
01:11:38 |
God forbid, |
01:11:40 |
Now you got a sentimental |
01:11:42 |
and lose against Lasky, |
01:11:44 |
You'll make more money. |
01:11:46 |
James, either way... |
01:11:48 |
you're a richer man with Braddock |
01:11:52 |
Come on, don't be foolish. We |
01:11:57 |
And it sure as hell |
01:12:12 |
They ought to put your mouth |
01:12:15 |
What do you say? |
01:12:19 |
Don't chase him. |
01:12:22 |
Time! (Joe) James! |
01:12:25 |
I got you a fight. |
01:12:27 |
You're gonna fight |
01:12:30 |
Yeah! |
01:12:31 |
Joey! I could kiss you! |
01:12:32 |
No, please, |
01:12:35 |
Isn't John Henry |
01:12:38 |
You let me worry about that, |
01:12:39 |
Now I know why you won't kiss me. |
01:12:43 |
Brother, you have no idea. |
01:12:45 |
Lewis? |
01:12:48 |
Yeah. Hey, Mike. |
01:12:50 |
Joe Gould, Mike Wilson. |
01:12:52 |
Hi. |
01:12:54 |
That guy ain't been beat |
01:12:56 |
But you win on a long shot, and |
01:13:00 |
That's great. |
01:13:02 |
You got more important things |
01:13:05 |
Now, I ain't gonna |
01:13:08 |
Now, you win one, |
01:13:11 |
Win again and then things maybe |
01:13:15 |
Jimmy? |
01:13:18 |
Win. |
01:13:20 |
[Grunting] |
01:13:36 |
(Jeanette) |
01:13:39 |
Leverage. |
01:13:50 |
(Jeanette) |
01:13:51 |
Be a bully, James! |
01:14:16 |
Thanks. |
01:14:20 |
I know this isn't |
01:14:22 |
but I can't win |
01:14:25 |
I'm always behind you. |
01:14:28 |
Thank you, baby. |
01:14:32 |
I got a great idea. |
01:14:35 |
Come on, just this one time. |
01:14:38 |
Okay, I'll make that |
01:14:46 |
[Sighing] |
01:15:08 |
Lewis, still moving well here |
01:15:12 |
He dances in and out |
01:15:15 |
[Crowd cheering] |
01:15:18 |
Don't let him |
01:15:21 |
[Grunting] |
01:15:23 |
There you go. |
01:15:28 |
Braddock slides to his right, |
01:15:41 |
John, get off the ropes. |
01:15:43 |
(Bond) Lewis spins his way |
01:15:45 |
[bell rings] And looks to resume control |
01:15:51 |
There we go. Suck it up. |
01:15:54 |
Deep breath, deep. |
01:15:56 |
All right. That ain't bad. He's |
01:15:59 |
Yeah. He's fast. Big deal. |
01:16:01 |
What are you doing? You |
01:16:04 |
He ain't the same guy. |
01:16:07 |
Keep that jab in his face |
01:16:09 |
You see that. |
01:16:11 |
Cut him off, all right? |
01:16:12 |
And let go with the punches. |
01:16:15 |
I guarantee you, the more |
01:16:18 |
the slower he's gonna get. |
01:16:19 |
He's an old man. He's too |
01:16:22 |
Come on. Use that jab. |
01:16:24 |
He's all right. |
01:16:25 |
Knock the legs out |
01:16:26 |
Trap him in the corner, |
01:16:28 |
(Joe) Do not fight this fight his way. |
01:16:30 |
You make him fight |
01:16:32 |
Let's go. You got him. |
01:16:34 |
[Bell rings] |
01:16:36 |
[Crowd applauding] |
01:16:37 |
(Bond) A left to the body |
01:16:40 |
A left-right-left by Lewis. |
01:16:43 |
It's a fight now, folks! |
01:16:46 |
Work his body, Jim! |
01:16:48 |
Braddock punching well |
01:16:50 |
Toe to toe! |
01:16:56 |
That left has some pop! |
01:16:58 |
Jimmy's hoping those body shots |
01:17:02 |
(Joe) Keep him in there! Stay with him! |
01:17:05 |
Don't give him any room! |
01:17:09 |
Get out of the corner. |
01:17:11 |
(Bond) Braddock pushing |
01:17:13 |
Lewis can't discourage him. |
01:17:17 |
Lewis is running out of real estate in this |
01:17:21 |
(man) |
01:17:23 |
And Lewis is down! |
01:17:25 |
[Crowd cheering] |
01:17:29 |
Gotcha. Good boy. |
01:17:31 |
(coach) |
01:17:33 |
(referee) One. There you go, get up! |
01:17:35 |
Two. |
01:17:37 |
Three. |
01:17:40 |
Four. Five. |
01:17:45 |
Six. |
01:17:50 |
(Bond) |
01:17:51 |
and Braddock steams |
01:17:53 |
Close it down. |
01:17:55 |
Another big right by Braddock! |
01:17:57 |
Lewis is just a piece of meat |
01:18:02 |
Braddock is now dominating Lewis! |
01:18:06 |
[Crowd screaming] |
01:18:19 |
Side to side! |
01:18:21 |
(Bond) In the tenth, riding high |
01:18:24 |
over John Henry Lewis... |
01:18:25 |
Jim Braddock has just hit |
01:18:32 |
He can't keep taking |
01:18:33 |
I know. He's cracked |
00:00:02 |
and keeps working |
00:00:04 |
But Braddock won't fold! |
00:00:05 |
He's making Lasky work hard for every minute of |
00:00:09 |
That's it, get on him! |
00:00:14 |
There you go, James! |
00:00:21 |
[Crowd screaming] |
00:00:24 |
(Bond) Lasky's starting to |
00:00:26 |
He's showing why Jimmy Johnston is |
00:00:28 |
about matching him |
00:00:35 |
(referee) |
00:00:37 |
Come on. Break free. |
00:00:40 |
[Bell rings] |
00:00:48 |
Don't sit down. You're |
00:00:50 |
Get that thing out of here! |
00:00:53 |
(Joe) |
00:00:55 |
Shake your head |
00:00:57 |
Shake your head like |
00:00:59 |
Why isn't he sitting down? |
00:01:02 |
Yeah, now he's gonna wonder: |
00:01:04 |
"If Braddock is such an old |
00:01:06 |
Why is he still |
00:01:09 |
You're stronger than this guy. |
00:01:13 |
This guy is a bull-rusher. |
00:01:14 |
He's gonna keep coming at you |
00:01:18 |
He can't back up. |
00:01:20 |
You gotta beat |
00:01:22 |
You gotta beat this son of |
00:01:25 |
You hear me? |
00:01:27 |
You get in there |
00:01:29 |
and you keep hitting him |
00:01:31 |
You fill his face with blood. |
00:01:34 |
Beat him from the inside |
00:01:38 |
(Bond) |
00:01:39 |
Braddock looks like |
00:01:42 |
That's it! |
00:01:46 |
Back him up! |
00:01:49 |
Lasky now looking |
00:01:52 |
to Braddock's |
00:01:53 |
Lasky pounding hard shots |
00:01:59 |
Braddock just took |
00:02:01 |
A hard right to the head which knocked |
00:02:04 |
to the canvas. |
00:02:34 |
Braddock just took |
00:02:36 |
And it didn't even faze him! |
00:02:43 |
[Crowd cheering] |
00:02:58 |
Get in there |
00:03:00 |
[Lasky grunting] |
00:03:02 |
He's showing |
00:03:10 |
Right in there |
00:03:18 |
(Bond) Braddock comes in |
00:03:20 |
The younger Lasky looks like |
00:03:23 |
under the pressure from the Bulldog of |
00:03:26 |
Braddock is now |
00:03:29 |
Another vicious combination |
00:03:30 |
And Lasky's flowing blood |
00:03:33 |
The 15th and final round. |
00:03:35 |
Braddock now looks |
00:03:37 |
and grimly determined. |
00:03:39 |
The Garden is on its feet! Jim Braddock will |

There's the bell! This one goes |

And the winner |

[All cheering] |
00:04:13 |
Thanks, buddy. |
00:04:18 |
[Knocking on door] |
00:04:19 |
Max? (Baer) What? |
00:04:23 |
Save a little bit of it... |
00:04:25 |
Jimmy Braddock |
00:04:27 |
They made him |
00:04:29 |
Max, when are we gonna go to... Shut up. |
00:04:30 |
Maxie, you... |
00:04:40 |
I'm not gonna fight Jimmy |
00:04:44 |
You tell Johnston to bring me |
00:04:49 |
You gonna bust your contract? |
00:04:55 |
[People chattering] |
00:05:04 |
That's him? Yeah? |
00:05:06 |
(man) I'm telling you. That's Braddock. |
00:05:39 |
[Exclaims] |
00:05:51 |
Hey, Mrs. Braddock. |
00:05:56 |
Sara's here. |
00:05:58 |
Yeah? |
00:05:59 |
I got her to sleep. |
00:06:02 |
Hey, Jim. |
00:06:06 |
Mike's gone missing. |
00:06:09 |
How long? |
00:06:12 |
Three days. |
00:06:14 |
I've been staying at my |
00:06:17 |
Jake fired him? |
00:06:20 |
You know how Mike gets. |
00:06:26 |
He's been sleeping nights |
00:06:29 |
My brother didn't have room |
00:06:32 |
Mike said, you know, if he had |
00:06:35 |
he was gonna try |
00:06:39 |
[Crying] Something's |
00:06:43 |
Now I'm hearing there's |
00:06:46 |
He wouldn't leave me |
00:06:51 |
He just wouldn't. |
00:06:53 |
I didn't know |

[Men chattering] |

(man) Get the hell out of here, coppers! |
00:07:21 |
Mike? Mike Wilson! |
00:07:25 |
Mike Wilson! |
00:07:29 |
(cop #2) ... do nothing. If |
00:07:32 |
and start a riot, then what |
00:07:35 |
(cop #3) |
00:07:37 |
On your feet! |
00:07:38 |
You pull a knife on me, |
00:07:46 |
(Sergeant) |
00:07:47 |
(cop #1) We tried to break up |
00:07:50 |
but they charged us. |
00:07:52 |
The horses got spooked. |
00:07:54 |
Three or four of them got run |
00:07:57 |
(Sergeant) This is a |
00:07:59 |
What did I tell you? |
00:08:03 |
(cop #4) Don't move those |

[Moaning] |

You're gonna be okay, Mike. |
00:08:29 |
Yeah, tell Sara. |

Will you tell her I'm |

00:09:50 |
How about it, Pete? |
00:09:51 |
(Pete) All right, |
00:09:53 |
Now, keep your questions short |
00:09:55 |
We're gonna |

Frank Essex, Daily News. |
00:10:02 |
You got a lot of reporters |
00:10:03 |
A lot of people are interested |
00:10:06 |
What do you got to say |
00:10:11 |
I guess I'm grateful |
00:10:17 |
I know that these days not |

Bob Johnson, Boston Globe. |
00:10:34 |
Two days ago, we ran a story about |
00:10:39 |
Can you tell our readers why? |
00:10:43 |
I believe we live |
00:10:47 |
A country that's great enough |
00:10:50 |
when he's in trouble. |
00:10:53 |
But lately I have had some good |
00:10:58 |
And I just thought |
00:11:01 |
(Pete) |
00:11:02 |
Yeah, over here. |
00:11:03 |
Listen, what's the first thing |
00:11:05 |
if you make world champion? |
00:11:07 |
First thing, I'm gonna have |
00:11:11 |
(reporters) |
00:11:12 |
Yeah, well, |
00:11:14 |
I was leaving the house |
00:11:15 |
that I was gonna |
00:11:17 |
and they thought |
00:11:19 |
[All laughing] |
00:11:20 |
Yeah. |
00:11:21 |
So naturally, |
00:11:23 |
But if I could bring home |
00:11:25 |
they sure would be tickled. |
00:11:27 |
You got that? |
00:11:30 |
Jake Greenblatt |
00:11:33 |
Hello, Jake. (Greenblatt) |
00:11:35 |
What's changed, Jimmy? |
00:11:36 |
I mean, you couldn't win a |
00:11:39 |
How do you explain |
00:11:42 |
(Braddock) Well, you |
00:11:43 |
for a number of years there |
00:11:46 |
I broke my hand |
00:11:50 |
I got in a car accident one |
00:11:53 |
and I had to get that fixed. |
00:11:56 |
I had a run of bad luck. |
00:12:00 |
And, this time around, |
00:12:04 |
Yeah? What's that, Jimmy? |
00:12:07 |
Milk. |
00:12:08 |
(Greenblatt) |
00:12:10 |
Sporty Lewis, |
00:12:12 |
Sporty. |
00:12:14 |
Actually, my question's |
00:12:16 |
Mrs. Braddock, my readers |
00:12:19 |
how do you feel |
00:12:22 |
Max Baer's killed two men |
00:12:25 |
So how do you feel |
00:12:28 |
Are you scared |
00:12:30 |
She's scared for Max Baer, is |
00:12:33 |
(Joe) Okay, how about |
00:12:36 |
[Reporters screaming] |
00:12:47 |
Said downstairs you wanted |
00:12:48 |
Joe, Jim, come on in. |
00:12:52 |
Right here. |
00:12:56 |
Editorial says |
00:12:59 |
And everybody associated with |
00:13:02 |
and prosecuted afterwards. |
00:13:04 |
They say the paper's getting |
00:13:06 |
from people saying |
00:13:08 |
Like you saved their lives |
00:13:10 |
If you ask me, |
00:13:12 |
But if I'm gonna |
00:13:14 |
I'm not getting hung out to |
00:13:17 |
You're all heart. |
00:13:19 |
My heart's for my family, Joe. |
00:13:21 |
My brains and my balls |
00:13:22 |
and this is business. |
00:13:23 |
You got me? |
00:13:29 |
You will know exactly |
00:13:33 |
And my attorney, |
00:13:35 |
will witness that I've done |
00:13:41 |
You know, |
00:13:44 |
Carnera's height saved him. |
00:13:46 |
He was knocked down 12 times. |
00:13:48 |
Exactly. Would've been worse |
00:13:50 |
Baer had to punch up to hit |
00:13:57 |
[Projector whirring] |
00:14:02 |
(Johnston) |
00:14:05 |
Stand-up fighter, |
00:14:09 |
His style familiar, Jim? |
00:14:12 |
Like looking in a mirror, huh? |
00:14:15 |
He'll see it |
00:14:22 |
[Johnston exclaiming] |
00:14:29 |
(Johnston) |
00:14:31 |
Campbell didn't go down |
00:14:33 |
He was a tough guy. |
00:14:35 |
Second one killed him |
00:14:45 |
Just cut it off, will you? |
00:14:54 |
The autopsy said that his |
00:14:58 |
from the connecting tissue. |
00:15:02 |
(Joe) Consider your |
00:15:08 |
Run it again. |
00:15:13 |
[Projector whirring] |
00:16:12 |
[Sighing] |
00:16:15 |
Remember Ernie Schaaf? |
00:16:17 |
(Johnston) Nice guy. You |
00:16:20 |
Ernie took one of those |
00:16:23 |
He was dead |
00:16:24 |
Next fight, first little nothing |
00:16:27 |
Detached brain, they said. |
00:16:32 |
Joe? |
00:16:34 |
No snappy comeback? |
00:16:38 |
It ain't my skull the guy's |
00:16:42 |
You want to think about it? |
00:16:46 |
You think |
00:16:49 |
What, like, boxing's |
00:16:54 |
You don't think triple shifts or |
00:16:57 |
is just as likely |
00:17:00 |
How many guys died the other |
00:17:04 |
trying to save on rent money? |
00:17:06 |
Guys who were trying to feed their |
00:17:09 |
have not yet quite figured out |
00:17:11 |
out of watching that guy die. |
00:17:13 |
In my profession, |
00:17:18 |
I'm a little more fortunate. |
00:17:20 |
[Scoffs] |
00:17:25 |
All righty then. You guys |
00:17:29 |
Take your wives. It's on me. |
00:17:32 |
We'll snap some pics |
00:17:34 |
If you change your |
00:17:35 |
at least we got some |
00:17:37 |
(Joe) |
00:17:42 |
[People chattering] |
00:17:51 |
It's gorgeous! |
00:17:55 |
Jimmy, can we get silver |
00:17:57 |
(Braddock) How many you |
00:17:59 |
Listen. A little bird told me |
00:18:02 |
So let's see what we got. |
00:18:04 |
"Boxer Jim Braddock |
00:18:07 |
to change the face of courage |
00:18:10 |
Oh, that's nice. |
00:18:13 |
Sporty Lewis wrote that. |
00:18:16 |
Yeah. And get this. |
00:18:18 |
"In a land that's |
00:18:20 |
"Braddock's comeback is |
00:18:25 |
"People who were ready |
00:18:28 |
"are finding inspiration in |

"As Damon Runyon |
00:18:34 |
he's truly |
00:18:38 |
Cinderella Man? |
00:18:40 |
Oh, I like it. It's kind of |
00:18:44 |
Oh, brother. |
00:18:47 |
Excuse me. |
00:18:50 |
I'm not quite finished yet. |
00:18:53 |
(Braddock) |
00:18:55 |
You know what? |
00:18:58 |
Johnston. He's a big spender. |
00:19:01 |
(Lucille) Yeah. He's a real peach. |
00:19:03 |
Gotta love the guy. |
00:19:05 |
Look at this. |
00:19:07 |
I know it is. |
00:19:11 |
Jimmy. |
00:19:32 |
(Joe) |
00:19:35 |
You think Johnston set that |
00:19:39 |
A few extra pics |
00:19:42 |
From the gentleman |

Mr. Baer said |
00:19:52 |
Don't open it. Put it in a |

Hey, Joey? |
00:19:56 |
Get the coats. |
00:20:08 |
Well, |
00:20:11 |
Thanks for the champagne, |
00:20:13 |
You're doing a great job publicizing |
00:20:16 |
I hope it's gonna be a very |
00:20:19 |
You keep telling people you're |
00:20:23 |
I got three kids at home. |
00:20:25 |
You're upsetting my family, |
00:20:27 |
Listen, Braddock. |
00:20:29 |
I'm asking you sincerely |
00:20:33 |
Now, you seem like a decent |
00:20:36 |
I really don't |

[Snickers] |
00:20:39 |
It's no joke, pal. |

00:20:47 |
There you go. Take it easy. Just smile. |
00:20:49 |
One more! |
00:20:50 |
Yeah. I think the smart thing |

Circus act's over, old man. |
00:20:56 |
[Baer laughing] |
00:20:59 |
Right here, Max. |
00:21:01 |
I think I'll go a few rounds |
00:21:04 |
Yeah, there you go. |
00:21:06 |
Come on, Jim. |
00:21:08 |
Come on. |
00:21:09 |
Hey, we'll see you in the |

Come on. Let's go, Jim. |
00:21:15 |
Max, my wife, Mae. |
00:21:17 |
You ought to talk to him, Mae. |
00:21:19 |
You are far too pretty |
00:21:23 |
That's not nice, Max. |
00:21:25 |
On second thought, maybe I can |
00:21:28 |
Hey, I said shut your |

[All gasping] |
00:21:37 |
Sorry. |
00:21:41 |
Get that, boys? |
00:21:43 |
Now he's got his wife |
00:21:49 |
Yeah. Ain't she something? |
00:21:52 |
[All laughing] |
00:21:56 |
All right. Get me a drink. |
00:22:07 |
[Braddock grunting] |
00:22:09 |
(Braddock) All right. |
00:22:11 |
Pop, pop, bang. Come on. |
00:22:16 |
Yeah. |
00:22:17 |
Oh, that's good. |
00:22:19 |
Keep your thumbs tucked in. |
00:22:22 |
All right. |
00:22:24 |
There's some sting in that. |
00:22:25 |
That's enough, please. |
00:22:27 |
(Braddock) |
00:22:31 |
(Howard) I want a turn, Dad. All right. |
00:22:33 |
Hey, where's your defense? |
00:22:35 |
I want a turn. |
00:22:37 |
[Metallic clanking] |
00:22:38 |
(Braddock) Left, right, |
00:22:43 |
[Kids laughing] |
00:22:46 |
Come on, Howie. |
00:22:49 |
All right, that's enough! |
00:22:52 |
No boxing out of the house. |
00:22:54 |
No boxing. Period! |
00:22:57 |
You're gonna stay in school. |
00:22:58 |
Then you're gonna go |
00:22:59 |
and you're gonna have |
00:23:01 |
Because you're not gonna have |
00:23:04 |
Do you understand me? |
00:23:15 |
Hey, why don't you boys go and |
00:23:19 |
[Crying] |
00:23:42 |
I used to pray... |
00:23:45 |
for you to get hurt |
00:23:49 |
so you couldn't fight anymore. |
00:23:52 |
And when they took your license |
00:23:56 |
I went to the church |
00:24:00 |
'Cause I always knew... |
00:24:01 |
a day might come |
00:24:05 |
I just knew it, Jimmy. |
00:24:08 |
You just got the jitters, |
00:24:10 |
He's killed two men, Jimmy! |
00:24:15 |
I have to believe I got some |
00:24:19 |
You know, that if things are |
00:24:22 |
we can make things better |
00:24:24 |
But I need you to be safe... |
00:24:27 |
Nothing's safe anymore, Mae. |
00:24:29 |
And without that... |
00:24:30 |
I need you to be safe! |
00:24:32 |
All right. |
00:24:33 |
I have stood by for all of it. |
00:24:37 |
Until now. |
00:24:40 |
Not for this, Jimmy. |
00:24:44 |
So you train all you want. |
00:24:47 |
Make a show of it |
00:24:50 |
But you find a way |
00:24:53 |
Break your hand again |
00:25:10 |
[Coughing] |
00:25:11 |
(man) |
00:25:19 |
So, how's he doing? |
00:25:21 |
He's old. He's arthritic. |
00:25:24 |
And his ribs haven't been |
00:25:27 |
What's the bad news, |
00:25:30 |
Joe! |
00:25:31 |
The reporters are here. |
00:25:33 |
Right. Get rid of that |
00:25:35 |
Jimmy! |
00:25:38 |
Get bouncing around |
00:25:39 |
Showtime! Big smiles! |
00:25:42 |
Baer don't need to know |
00:27:15 |
Bye, Dad. |
00:27:37 |
Come on, let's go. Let's go. |
00:27:55 |
(man) |
00:27:57 |
There's Braddock! |
00:28:02 |
(man #2) Maybe this |
00:28:05 |
Look, it's him! |
00:28:07 |
We're with you, Jimmy! You're |
00:28:15 |
(Alice) Well, look who's |
00:28:18 |
Come on in. |
00:28:21 |
No radio, all right? |
00:28:24 |
Yeah, sure. |
00:28:49 |
Hello, Mae. |
00:28:54 |
So did they. |
00:28:57 |
Yeah. |
00:29:07 |
They all think |
00:29:34 |
[Joe whistling] |
00:29:57 |
[Sighing] |
00:30:10 |
Hey. |
00:30:14 |
Yeah? |
00:30:15 |
Who beat that |
00:30:21 |
That Braddock guy. |
00:30:24 |
Who whupped that |
00:30:27 |
James J. Braddock. |
00:30:30 |
Now, refresh me |
00:30:31 |
Who was it took that Corn Griffin |
00:30:35 |
with no questions asked? |
00:30:39 |
I used to think it was me... |
00:30:40 |
but now I'm kinda thinking |
00:30:41 |
No, don't you |
00:30:44 |
At some stage, you think maybe |
00:30:49 |
Why not? |
00:30:56 |
All right, let's see. |
00:31:00 |
[Knocking on door] |
00:31:01 |
What? |
00:31:22 |
Excuse me, ma'am. |
00:31:32 |
You can't win |
00:31:38 |
That's what I've been trying |
00:31:50 |
Maybe I understand some. |
00:31:53 |
About having to fight. |
00:31:56 |
So you just remember |
00:32:00 |
You're the |
00:32:03 |
and the pride of New Jersey. |
00:32:06 |
You're everybody's hope. |
00:32:09 |
And you're your kids' hero. |
00:32:13 |
And you are |
00:32:17 |
James J. Braddock. |
00:32:29 |
You know, |
00:32:32 |
You know, boxers hang around |
00:32:34 |
and you don't want to get tangled |
00:32:38 |
Nice girl like you. |
00:32:43 |
I'll see you at home. |
00:32:51 |
Please, Jimmy. |
00:32:54 |
I'll see you at home? |
00:32:58 |
See you at home, baby. |
00:33:20 |
(Bond on radio) From the ringside of the |
00:33:23 |
Tonight, our coast-to-coast |
00:33:24 |
brings you the biggest |
00:33:26 |
Max Baer versus the Cinderella Man, |
00:33:30 |
[All cheering] |
00:33:31 |
And in a few moments... |
00:33:33 |
the contestants for |
00:33:35 |
will be making their way |
00:33:38 |
[Crowd chattering] |
00:33:51 |
[Crowd murmuring] |
00:33:58 |
God Almighty. |
00:34:08 |
(Bond) Jim Braddock's rise |
00:34:10 |
to number one heavyweight contender |
00:34:14 |
No, never in all my years have I seen this arena |
00:34:46 |
(man) |
00:34:49 |
[Crowd applauding] |
00:34:51 |
[Crowd cheering] |
00:34:56 |
James J. Braddock, |
00:34:59 |
who just a year ago |
00:35:01 |
Braddock's a tremendous |
00:35:03 |
but you wouldn't know it from the reaction of |
00:35:06 |
Madison Square Garden is on its feet and the noise |
00:35:09 |
An astonishing crowd is |
00:35:12 |
I saw people lining up to buy |
00:35:14 |
as if they were spending |
00:35:16 |
But they're here now |
00:35:19 |
Listen to them! |
00:35:21 |
[Crowd screaming] |
00:35:39 |
(Braddock) We understand Max Baer |
00:35:42 |
There he is. |
00:35:43 |
Max Baer has the look and swagger of |
00:35:46 |
Tonight, though, |
00:35:48 |
not with Jim Braddock in the ring. |
00:35:51 |
The table's been set. |
00:35:58 |
(referee) Gentlemen, |
00:36:00 |
in the dressing room. |
00:36:01 |
One minute to midnight, |
00:36:02 |
Yeah? Your clock's |
00:36:04 |
I'm here to enforce them. |
00:36:06 |
Tell laughing boy here, |
00:36:07 |
I don't want any backhanding |
00:36:09 |
No low blows! |
00:36:11 |
You understand? You tell this |
00:36:14 |
Watch your goddamn language, |
00:36:16 |
Look at this! No low |
00:36:17 |
You gonna let this little |
00:36:19 |
No hitting on the |
00:36:21 |
Holy mackerel, it talks! |
00:36:23 |
Keep your hands up at all |
00:36:25 |
Now, touch gloves |
00:36:27 |
Good luck. Go to your corners. |
00:36:29 |
I'm gonna kick his Mick balls |
00:36:32 |
That ought to be |
00:36:37 |
Come on, Jimmy boy! |
00:36:41 |
(Joe) Yeah, boys, get some |
00:36:53 |
You can do this. |
00:36:56 |
Have a picnic, all right? |
00:37:03 |
(Bond) There's the bell! |
00:37:06 |
[Crowd cheering] |
00:37:13 |
The boys come out... |
00:37:14 |
and immediately Braddock |
00:37:19 |
That's it! |
00:37:24 |
Now, now. |
00:37:25 |
Baer snaps Braddock's head |
00:37:29 |
It's always a question of which Max will show up |
00:37:32 |
the killer or the clown? |
00:37:41 |
Maxie doing well. |
00:37:43 |
It looks like he's enjoying himself, |
00:37:45 |
(Joe) |
00:37:48 |
A big flurry by Braddock! |
00:37:59 |
Take it easy, pal. I'll let |
00:38:03 |
Madcap Maxie is heavily favored to put |
00:38:06 |
in the first round. |
00:38:07 |
That big right hand of his |
00:38:09 |
especially when he traps |
00:38:11 |
He's gonna carry him |
00:38:14 |
[Both grunting] |
00:38:18 |
(referee) |
00:38:19 |
[Bell rings] |
00:38:22 |
Go on, Jimmy! |
00:38:25 |
(Bond) Jim survived the round and |
00:38:28 |
Braddock will not be bullied. |
00:38:30 |
When he does this horseshit, |
00:38:32 |
He's trying to thumb you. |
00:38:34 |
And then slip inside of there |
00:38:37 |
All right? Shorten them up. |
00:38:39 |
(Joe) |
00:38:41 |
(man #1) |
00:38:43 |
(man #2) |
00:38:44 |
Well, no one expected Braddock |
00:38:47 |
Shorten them up. |
00:38:48 |
The experts at ringside |
00:38:50 |
Shorten them up! (Bond) |
00:38:52 |
And here we are |
00:38:55 |
(Joe) |
00:38:57 |
Braddock lands a hard right |
00:38:59 |
Max swats him away |
00:39:02 |
He appears to be |
00:39:04 |
There's no other word for it. |
00:39:06 |
Max struts around the ring |
00:39:13 |
(Joe) Sharp, efficient, |
00:39:17 |
[Crowd screaming] |
00:39:21 |
Knock that on out. |
00:39:23 |
(Bond on radio) And Max responds with |
00:39:26 |
All power punches from Maxie. |
00:39:35 |
Break him! |
00:39:36 |
And Braddock punches |
00:39:44 |
Cover up! |
00:39:47 |
Is that the right spot, Jimmy? |
00:39:49 |
[Bell rings] All right. Break it up! |
00:39:51 |
Break it up, you two! |
00:39:55 |
[Crowd whistling] |
00:39:58 |
[Groaning] |
00:40:02 |
How are those ribs? |
00:40:05 |
(Jeanette) Good pace. Good pace, |
00:40:08 |
Deep breaths. Relax. |
00:40:11 |
You're looking great |
00:40:13 |
Yeah. |
00:40:14 |
Hey, Jim? |
00:40:18 |
drop the elbows on him. |
00:40:20 |
Break his goddamn hand. |
00:40:22 |
(Bond) |
00:40:23 |
Braddock landed several surprising |
00:40:26 |
And those thunderous |
00:40:28 |
should pay dividends |
00:40:32 |
In the fifth, |
00:40:36 |
(Joe) |
00:40:38 |
Jimmy comes in |
00:40:39 |
then neatly slides off |
00:40:42 |
Avoiding the counterpunch, |
00:40:48 |
And now the crowd is jeering and even laughing |
00:40:51 |
And Maxie's none too pleased. |
00:40:53 |
(referee) |
00:40:55 |
Break! |
00:40:57 |
[Crowd booing] Baer backhands Braddock |
00:40:59 |
That'll cost Maxie. |
00:41:00 |
You lousy shegetz! |
00:41:02 |
That's a warning, Max. |
00:41:05 |
I'm sorry. |
00:41:09 |
How's that wife of yours? |
00:41:10 |
(referee) |
00:41:16 |
She talk about me? |
00:41:18 |
All right. Break it up! |
00:41:19 |
Quit fooling around, Max! |
00:41:24 |
(Joe) |
00:41:25 |
What was that? |
00:41:26 |
Keep them up. Wake up, |
00:41:30 |
[Crowd booing] |
00:41:34 |
(Bond) Max salutes the crowd. |
00:41:38 |
She say my name in her sleep? |
00:41:41 |
Baer took a chin-full of Braddock's head |
00:41:44 |
That's it! Work his body! |
00:41:50 |
She miss me? |
00:41:51 |
Baer grips Braddock's head |
00:41:54 |
Jesus! Hey, Maxila you |
00:41:57 |
That's your job, asshole. |
00:41:59 |
(Bond) |
00:42:00 |
(Baer) Hey, buddy... |
00:42:02 |
You kidding me? |
00:42:04 |
You're gonna get hurt. |
00:42:06 |
Braddock keeps punching. They hammer each other, |
00:42:11 |
Okay, break! |
00:42:15 |
Keep your hands up |
00:42:17 |
You watching the fight or |
00:42:19 |
Take a seat, Maxie! |
00:42:22 |
The guy has got nothing! |
00:42:24 |
Jesus! Sit down! |
00:42:28 |
Give me the sponge. |
00:42:29 |
What are you doing? |
00:42:31 |
Well, quit screwing around. |
00:42:35 |
Give me the goddamn water. |
00:42:43 |
(timer) |
00:42:55 |
(Joe) |
00:42:58 |
[Bell rings] You cut him |
00:43:03 |
Oh, shit. |
00:43:05 |
(Bond) In the seventh, |
00:43:07 |
And Max is all business now. |
00:43:11 |
(Gary) Put him away, Max! Get him! |
00:43:13 |
Attaboy, Maxie! Attaboy! |
00:43:15 |
Slide it, Jimmy! |
00:43:19 |
Braddock starting |
00:43:21 |
as Baer pushes him |
00:43:23 |
Baer swings hard to the body. |
00:43:25 |
Braddock gets in a right |
00:43:28 |
Murder him, Maxie! |
00:43:39 |
Jesus Christ. |
00:43:41 |
Baer with a tremendous shot |
00:43:43 |
That was the hardest blow |
00:43:50 |
Oh, Christ. |
00:43:51 |
Baer turns him again... |
00:43:53 |
with another right to the head. |
00:43:56 |
[Crowd screaming] |
00:44:03 |
Push him, push him! |
00:44:16 |
(Bond) Braddock gets in |
00:44:18 |
[Bell rings] |
00:44:20 |
Baer keeps on punching! |
00:44:21 |
[Bell ringing] |
00:44:23 |
Let him go! That's enough! |
00:44:26 |
You're gonna go home |
00:44:28 |
(referee) To your |
00:44:30 |
[Crowd cheering] |
00:44:34 |
All right. |
00:44:37 |
Get it out. (Angelo) You're okay. |
00:44:38 |
Let me see it. |
00:44:40 |
That's nothing. |
00:44:41 |
Keep your head up. |
00:44:43 |
Breathe. |
00:44:45 |
You got all your ugly friends |
00:44:47 |
They're dressed up nice. |
00:44:49 |
You're putting them to sleep. |
00:44:53 |
Come on, pick it up. |
00:44:57 |
Good boy. |
00:45:01 |
Come on. |
00:45:05 |
(Bond on radio) The boys go after each other |
00:45:07 |
Braddock gets in a left to the body. |
00:45:09 |
Mae. |
00:45:11 |
Baer comes swinging across |
00:45:13 |
It's the cops. |
00:45:16 |
Braddock stumbles away. |
00:45:17 |
Baer tries that right again! |
00:45:20 |
They come together. Braddock swings a left |
00:45:23 |
Please, Ma. |
00:45:24 |
Max comes back with a left and |
00:45:26 |
Braddock sticks out a left! |
00:45:29 |
Another left! |
00:45:30 |
And a hard right by Braddock |
00:45:33 |
Baer tries that right again. |
00:45:35 |
[Both grunting] |
00:45:38 |
A hard right |
00:45:40 |
Braddock is hurt. |
00:45:45 |
[Baer grunting] |
00:45:51 |
Braddock sticks out a left! |
00:45:58 |
Neither man will back down! |
00:46:01 |
And there's the bell! |
00:46:04 |
James J. Braddock has exhibited |
00:46:06 |
over 11 grueling rounds |
00:46:09 |
Nobody expected him to last more than a few innings |
00:46:13 |
Yet here he is. |
00:46:16 |
But now we head into the championship rounds, |
00:46:22 |
Hey, Jim, look at me. |
00:46:27 |
I swear to God, boy, |
00:46:30 |
Thanks, Joey. |
00:46:35 |
You son of a bitch. |
00:46:38 |
Get in there! |
00:46:40 |
And bury him! |
00:46:41 |
(Ancil) |
00:46:43 |
Come on, Jimmy! |
00:46:45 |
[Crowd cheering] |
00:46:51 |
(Bond) Here in the 12th, |
00:46:53 |
is showing this crowd |
00:47:03 |
Jimmy seems to be |
00:47:05 |
and has slapped it away |
00:47:11 |
Keep moving, boy-o! |
00:47:15 |
Son of a bitch! |
00:47:17 |
Braddock with a shoeshine. |
00:47:20 |
Am I seeing what I'm seeing? |
00:47:23 |
Finish him, Jimmy. Finish him! |
00:47:25 |
[Crowd chanting] |
00:47:36 |
Maxie's glamour-boy smile |
00:47:40 |
This crowd is desperately |
00:47:43 |
But Mr. Baer might have something to say |
00:47:47 |
[Crowd applauding] |
00:47:50 |
Holy crap! |
00:47:57 |
(referee) |
00:47:58 |
[Bell rings] That last low blow |
00:48:01 |
Jesus! |
00:48:04 |
Why don't you just kick him |
00:48:06 |
Joe, back in your corner! |
00:48:07 |
What are you afraid of, |
00:48:10 |
(referee) |
00:48:11 |
[Screaming] |
00:48:14 |
Come on, Ref! |
00:48:17 |
(Bond on radio) McAvoy is on the verge of |
00:48:24 |
(man) Knock him on the ground, Bulldog! |
00:48:29 |
Last round. |
00:48:31 |
You better worry about Baer's |
00:48:33 |
You know what I mean. |
00:48:34 |
You won this one. |
00:48:38 |
But I want you to play it |
00:48:41 |
I know you don't like |
00:48:43 |
but I want you to stay away |
00:48:45 |
do you understand me? |
00:48:48 |
Right hand. |
00:48:49 |
You're behind. |
00:48:53 |
You want to lose the championship |
00:48:56 |
Hey. (man) Come on, Jimmy! |
00:48:58 |
This is your night. |
00:49:01 |
(Joe) Stay away. Put him down! |
00:49:05 |
Use your right hand. |
00:49:10 |
[Men screaming] |
00:49:13 |
(timer) Ten seconds! |
00:49:20 |
(Joe) It's the last round, |
00:49:24 |
You play this bastard smart |
00:49:37 |
One more round to go, folks. |
00:49:39 |
McAvoy stands |
00:49:41 |
waiting for the fighters |
00:50:04 |
Touch gloves. |
00:50:08 |
(Bond) The boys touch gloves |
00:50:11 |
And now they're right |
00:50:12 |
Oh, no, Jimmy! |
00:50:16 |
Leave him alone! |
00:50:19 |
Stay away from him! |
00:50:21 |
That ain't laying back! |
00:50:23 |
Braddock's corner |
00:50:25 |
to stay away from Baer. |
00:50:26 |
Because Baer is looking |
00:50:28 |
Stay off him, Jim. Come on! |
00:50:33 |
Right hand, Max. Yes! |
00:50:36 |
[Both grunting] |
00:50:42 |
What is he, stupid? |
00:50:47 |
Step away! |
00:50:49 |
Braddock trying to survive |
00:50:52 |
(Joe) |
00:50:54 |
Don't let him touch you! |
00:50:56 |
Hey, looking good, Maxie! |
00:51:03 |
Watch the uppercut! Just |
00:51:06 |
(Bond on radio) Baer cutting loose |
00:51:08 |
A left to the body. |
00:51:10 |
Baer again with a right! |
00:51:11 |
Braddock covering up, |
00:51:15 |
Baer looking for the knockout. |
00:51:16 |
