Nice one T. I've only ever seen half of this :good

 

Cheers, added to my documentary thread.

 

I remember watching a bit of this a few years back, thanks for posting it up :good

 

Thanks Eskimo, watching now.

 

Wow freaky moment I actually watched this for the first time 2 days ago and was going to post it lol

 

Really enjoyed that, thanks Eskimo.

 

Bookmarked for later.

 

Great documentary. The part where some idiot goes something like "Coca-Cola made the evil Nazi Schmeling director in Germany while the IRS was screwing Louis so shame on America" jarred more than a bit though. Louis got screwed by the IRS because he managed his finances badly and fought his last fights in an era of a 90% top tax rate, Schmeling eventually became a successful executive at Coca-Cola Germany. One has little to do with the other.
Apart from that one moment a great documentary, though.

 

It's another Donald Macrae book, really excellent stuff.

 

The greatest
