Joe Louis Story DVD

"A serviceable, if stilted, biopic about the eponymous hero in boxing and racial equality, who became heavyweight champ in the '30s despite overwhelming prejudice and Max Schmelling. Real-life boxer Coley Wallace brings a boxer's authenticity to his portrayal of Joe Louis. This film intersperses real-life footage of the great man in action. The Joe Louis Story was banned in certain parts of the American south when it was originally released. "
