DVD out FEB 8!!


I'm very excited about the dvd release on february 8th. Barney is a relative of mine (distant cousin) and i'd like to finally see a movie about his life. If anyone else has any comments, please share!

I recently read that Barney Ross was used as an advisor during the making of this movie, but subsequently sued the producers for defamation of character!
Do you know if there is any substance to this story, and if so, was he successful in the court case that followed?

Hello nets.331

I see it's been a while since you posted your post Monkey On My Back
Just want to say the movie your relative was in played a big part in my life
I seen it as a little boy and I'm now in my mid 60's
It is one of two of my favorite movies.

The other was Home of the brave taught me about people
And look past the color of their skin to see a real person
I've lived my life the way I have because of these two movies

God Bless
