Wallace looks the part.......

Heavyweight contender Coley Wallace who looked and sounded exactly like Joe Louis, tried his limited best in his movie debut. Sadly, a cheap and clearly quickly made film, it really lacks the knockout punch to make this a great or even good movie. However, any fan of Joe Louis will find this entertaining enough, but that is about it.On a side note, Wallace defeated Rocky Marciano in an amateur boxing match and Marciano knocked out Louis in a professional fight.
