But boxing films are special. There are more movies about boxing, by a healthy margin, than any other sport, and boxing accompanied and aided the medium's late 19th century emergence as a popular mass entertainment. Many of cinema's most celebrated directors-from Oscar Micheaux to Martin Scorsese-made boxing films. And while the production of other types of sports movies generally corresponds with the current popularity of their subject, boxing films continue to be made regularly even after the sport has wilted from its once prominent position in the sports hierarchy of the United States. From Edison's Leonard-Cushing Fight to The Joe Louis Story, Rocky and beyond, this book explores why boxing has so consistently fascinated cinema, and popular media culture more generally, by tracing how boxing movies inform the sport's meanings and uses from the late 19th century to the early 21st century"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references, filmography, and index. 505 0 $a Introduction The Boxing Film Over Time and Across Media -- The Boxing Film through the Golden Age of Sports Media -- St. Joe Louis, Surrounded by Films -- TV Fighting and Fighting TV in the 1950s -- Muhammad Ali, The Super Fight, and Closed-Circuit Exhibition -- The 1970s, Rocky, and the Shadow of Ali -- HBO Sports: Docu-Branding Boxing -- Protecting Boxing with the Boxing Film -- Conclusion Handling the Rules. 650 0 $a Boxing films $z United States $x History and criticism. 650 7 $a Boxing films. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00837313 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 830 0 $a Screening sports. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317032036.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A457746ACF3111EB9A1890BA3BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
