Marciano's career is shortchanged in this film. It never even depicts Rocky's title winning effort against Jersey Joe Walcott. Which is arguably one of the best title fights of the 20th century. To say nothing of the way Rocky finishes matters in that fight. The rematch with La Starza is not here. The two wars against Ezzard Charles? You'd think the injury Rocky suffers in the rematch would be more than worth recounting. Nope, not here. Nor Rocky's swan song against the great Archie Moore. A fine film. Good acting all around. But for anyone who knows anything about The Rock. It seems odd the greatest parts of his career are missing.
