Max Baer rare video special

this is great. nice find

 

Very Nice :good:good

 

I think the guy who puts him through the ropes is Hank Hankinson.

 

Baer's right hand was brutal...died of a heart attack in 1959 at the age of 50...

 

To watch Max Baer portrayed as a villain in "Cinderella Man" ,the story of James Braddock, made we want to leave the movie theatre. Baer at heart was a fun loving gentle man outside the ring with a jovial personality second to none.
I recall so vividly the night in 1959 when Baer leaped over the ropes to be introduced before a boxing main event on tv. He looked the picture of health I thought to myself...A couple of weeks later, Baer suffered a fatal heart attack...Go figure !. My favorite boxing film is "The prizefighter and The Lady",with Max Baer and Myrna Loy...Baer even danced in the film.
Check it out. It had, Dempsey, Carnera, Mex Joe Rivers, Willard, Jim Jeffries,etc in the film...

 

Baer had an Iron Chin and savage power in his right hand.

 

I search TCM everyday for that movie.

Atleast the Braddock books ive read put him in a good light.

 

SP, Google- Max Baer in" The Prizefighter and the Lady" and scroll 3 down. You will see 8 minutes of Max Baer dancing with a bunch of chicks.
You'll like it.:good

Opie made me want to puke with that shitty movie of his..interestingly enough, Baer gets his proper treatment in that wonderful book by Jeremy Schaap...also called Cinderella Man.

 

Loved seeing that rare old gem of a movie..
