From the 2005 Ron Howard-directed "Cinderella Man," which wisely tapped Angelo Dundee to serve as the boxing consultant for the film, comes a lot filled with items from the film, starting with a sweatshirt worn by the star, Russell Crowe, portraying James Braddock. The Large Size navy blue sweatshirt was worn by Crowe on the set of the feature film; the hooded sweatshirt has embroidered lettering on the front of "North Bergen," additional letter of Imagine, Universal, Miramax and Roots production companies on the right shoulder and an intriguing Joseph McGuillicuddy Gould Boxer-Shamrock patch on the other shoulder. The shirt is in excellent condition and is shown in a photo here with Crowe wearing it in an appearance at the Boxing Hall of Fame with Dundee. There is a marvelous 7-by-5-inch color photo of Crowe in character with Dundee, signed on the margins with a "Love" inscription, plus an 11-by-18-inch Nr-Mt movie poster picturing Crowe and Renee Zellweger and signed by Crowe in blue Sharpie and twice by Dundee - one in bold black Sharpie and the second in silver. There are two movie prop programs: a Nr-Mt specimen from the Braddock-Griffiths bout in 1928 and the second from the Braddock-Baer fight (Good) from 1935. The Braddock-Baer prop program is signed in black Sharpie at the center spread by actor Craig Bierko, who played Max Baer (adding inscription "Jim, All the best."). Also included are 20 pages of movie call sheets and a 10-page script revision.
Comes with an LOA from the Dundee Family.
