Carnera: The Walking Mountain



Not Primo, but good
Prior to watching the DVD, I had heard Carnera's name, but knew very little about him. An exchange in one scene mentions the possibility of a fight being fixed and in reading I've done since viewing the film there are frequent allegations of mafia involvement in many of his early fights. The title fight between Carnera and Max Baer is interesting for the fact that Primo was knocked down 11 times in 11 rounds before the fight was stopped. I suspect a great deal of embellishment for entertainment purposes, but the film maintained my interest and I would recommend it to any boxing fan.

CARNERA GREAT BOXING MOVIE!!!!
JUST WATCHED THIS FILM. ALL IS CAN SAY IS... WOW. GREAT, GREAT MOVIE, A HIDDEN GEM THAT DESERVES TO BE SEEN BY ANY FAN OF BOXING MOVIES. FILM LOOKED LIKE THEY SPENT A TON OF MONEY ON THE PRODUCTION.

CARNERA
FINALLY A MOVIE ABOUT THE MAN NAMED PRIMO CARNERA...IT'S IN ITALIAN BUT THE ENGLISH SUBTITLES ARE GREAT AND IT TELLS THE STORY FROM PRIMO'S SIDE...
