I'm not a big fan of biographical movies. They are just too unrealistic and one-sided for my taste. The fight scenes are laughable in this film, but it has several things going for it though. One is Paul Newman, who does a great job here. Next is the excellent cinematography by Ruttenberg, who started out in the silent film era and worked until 1968. Finally, the supporting cast is solid.
If it wasn't so hokey I'd give it a 7, but I give it a 6 rating and blame it on the 50's.
