1.0 out of 5 stars like it if you want , but realize this;
Barney Ross, the great champion boxer and war hero that this movie is supposedly based on, sued the producers and won an out of court settlement. Considering how seldom such lawsuits go in favor of the complainant, this movie must be about as untruthful as possible.

1.0 out of 5 stars Lb. for lb.:The Worst Movie Of All-Time, August 30, 2006
This review is from: Monkey on My Back (DVD)
Actually,this may not be as bad as,say, 'My Dinner With Andre';but,based on what coulda been,it's worse. Cameron Mitchell wasted his talent on portraying Barney Ross,who would've been one of the leading characters in The Torah(aside from Moses)if he didn't live in the twentieth century(see reviews for the autobiography 'No Man Stands Alone).But,rather than attempt to detail the life of the Hall of Fame boxer and war hero,who became addicted to morphine after enlisting in the Marines and fighting on Guadalcanal,the film focuses instead on his drug addiction;Ross sued and won-and you can regularly bid for film posters on Ebay of 'Barney Ross' with a needle in his arm.
