Summary: IF YOU'RE A JOE LOUIS FAN, YOU'LL LIKE THIS VIDEO.
Comment: This video contains exciting knock-out scenes from many of Joe's memorable fights, and it brings back the thrill of watching the greatest of all heavyweight champions at the peak of his fighting prowess. My only criticisms are, it didn't show enough of the fights that it featured, and it should have featured more of Joe's fights. In other words, I would gladly have paid twice the price for a video that covered Joe Louis' career in greater depth. Nevertheless, it is well worth the money, and it belongs in the video library of every Joe Louis fan.

Summary: Decent bio, but should have been longer
Comment: This is a decent bio of Joe Louis, but it only scratches the surface of profiling the "Brown Bomber's" career. Too many great fights are not even shown, such as the Primo Carnera bout, and the clips that are shown are way too brief. For example, they show about 25 seconds of the first round of Louis-Braddock. Yet the producers of the show fail to include the moment when Louis is unexpectedly knocked down! This video has some memorable fight clips and interviews (such as Tony Galento whining after his loss to Louis), but it always leaves me wanting to see more. Billy Conn is one of the hosts of this special, and while he was a great fighter and person, he wasn't a good commentator. Still, for $10 bucks I guess you can't expect too much.

Editorial Reviews:

One of the greatest heavyweight champions of all time - he took the belt at age 23, and successfully defended the title 24 times. See great moments from this powerhouse career - Louis vs. Max Schmeling, Jimmy Braddock, Rocky Marciano and more.
