★★★★★ · Humble Joe Louis ! Great American ! · 1969nam · 2025-04-03
I echo Magicfoot review. An extremely entertaining film featuring Heavy Weight Champion Joe Lewis. Plus Clarence Muse with Mantan Moreland two well versed actors. Clarence received a college degree from Dickinson college. He is known to be the first African American actor in major movies. He is a joy to watch.
