Cinderella Man
-Jim Braddock is one of the best boxers around.
-Braddock brakes his hand and is forced to leave the boxing cooperation
-Because of the loss of a job, Jim, his wife, and his 3 children are forced to live in a small appartment in New Jersey.
-Jim must now attend the each day with the other unemployed men
-Braddock's trainer, Joe Gould, contacts Jim and lets him know he found him a fight for a cash prize. Enough to put the electricity bill back on and buy some new milk.
-Mae, Jim's wife, is afraid her husband will hurt himself again, which will leave them with absolutely no income at all.
-Ignoring Mae's wants, Jim goes on the become the Cinderella Man of New Jersey!
*He was the savior of the town and brought hope to many of the less fortune around him.
