Maybe it’s because I am a New England native but I liked the movie and it was pretty accurate. I also liked the fighter which was based on Mickey Ward who I knew personally and hung out with a few times. My son played football with **** Ecklunds kid so **** Ecklund and I hung out a few times to when he was sober. He came over to my house to watch Trinidad fight.

Boxing movies have always done well.I think there are just a TON of storys about fighters that would be great movies.Jonn L(the most known man of his day)Dempsey(former hobo)Stanly Kechel(do I need to say anthing)Harry Greb,Micky Waker.Pep Jack Johnson(its time for a remake of Great White Hope)All these guys and more have GREAT storys.

Very underrated movie. Hands of Stone and Bleed For This were both great movies. Reviewers unfairly expect a Rocky 1 movie with every boxing movie release. Cinderella man was miles better than all Rocky movies combined, yet Rotten Tomatoes gave it a score of 93% and CM 80%. I don't even bother with the critic reviews and just check user ratings instead.

Requiem for a heavyweight, is a great boxing film that leaves you empty!

Director Ralph Nelson, Written by Rod Serling (The Twilight Zone).

The film stars Anthony Quinn, Jackie Gleason, Mickey Rooney, Julie Harris, real prisefighters Jack Dempsey, Paolo Rosi, and Muhammad Ali himself (as Cassius Clay).

Anthony Quinn as Mountain Rivera is unforgetable, as a vet of 111 fights he sports for this role, a many times broken nose, cauliflowered ears, bruised, lacerated, and smashed eyebrows, swollen cheekbones, and he talks in a raspy-wheezy voice. He clings to the only didnity he knows, the ring, but can't quite fanthom the reason he must stop.

Jakie Gleason is great as Maish the pragmatic sketchy heel who you feel a bit of empathy for, Gleason even throws fans of The Honeymooners a few bones during his card playing sequence with Mickey Rooney doing a Ralph Cramden and Ed Norton riff.

Mickey Rooney shines as the melancholy, cutman with a heart, and Julie Harris is playing her regular schtick, a spinster, (at least for me, since that is the role I've usually seen her play), albiet one with a heart of gold. Her sequences with Quinn are both touching and disheartening.

Madame Spivy, is uniquely off putting as an obese froglike lump in mans clothes who rules the bookmaking world with a cadre of goons. You get reminded of the great Shirley Stoler.
