Skill, Brains & Guts begins with boxing legend Muhammad Ali's emergence as a great amateur fighter, then chronicles his career through the glory days of the 1960s, his exile from the ring following his refusal to join the military during the height of the Vietnam war, and his eventual comeback and landmark fights against Joe Frazier and George Foreman. The 1975 film is worth watching for all the fight footage of Ali in his prime, when he captivated the world with both his pugilistic skill and his entertaining arrogance.(RJM) |
