Cinderella ManThe true story of James Braddock, a working-class Irish-American, born in Hells Kitchen, New York City, who became heavyweight boxing champion in 1935 at the height of the Depression. He was the ten-to-one outsider and had only recently returned to the ring after four years out with a broken hand. It was Damon Runyon who first called him The Cinderella Man. |
