This film is some sixty (60+) plus years old and it still holds up as a legitimate biography of the late great boxing champion Rocky Graziano. There was a lot of history to try and cover of this professional boxers real life story in less than the two (2) hours of run time but the producer/writer and director did an admirable job of illustrating that Rocky's upbringing from his childhood days through to his monogamous marriage and family man persona were all covered.
The fight scenes in the filmed seemed to reflect the lack of effort that Rocky himself expressed about having to train hard for a fight, and his record of 67 wins, 10 losses and 6 draws is reflective of a former champion who lost his focus on more than one night even with becoming the middleweight champion.
This is a decent sports boxing themed biographical film on the life of Rocky Graziano well worth watching for the stellar performance of a great cast which includes a young Paul Newman. I give it a solid 6 out of 10 IMDb rating.
