Everything Cinderella Man Doesn't Tell You About The True Story
ByWill Fancher
Ron Howard's crowd-pleaser "Cinderella Man" tells the true story of James J.
Braddock (Russell Crowe), an up-and-coming boxer in the s whose career hits a series of setbacks; by the mids he is taking shifts as a dockworker in New York City in order to provide for his wife Mae (Renée Zellweger) and their three children.
But with the support of Mae and his longtime manager Joe Gould (Paul Giamatti), Braddock makes an improbable comeback in the ring and gets a shot at the heavyweight title, currently held by the fearsome Max Baer (Craig Bierko).
It's an old-fashioned sports flick, not terribly different from the kind of boxing melodramas that were popular when Braddock's comeback was making headlines.
Apart from some fictionalized characters like Paddy Considine's stockbroker-turned-longshoreman, the film presents an improbable comeback more-or-less as it actually happened.
