Paul Newman’s Rocky Graziano story. The film in question is "Somebody Up There Likes Me" (1956), a biographical sports drama directed by Robert Wise, based on the life of middleweight boxing champion Rocky Graziano. The film stars Paul Newman, stepping in to replace James Dean, who was originally cast but died before production began. I did not know that Marlon modeled his performance on the same person, what a great insight! . . #cinneman #cinnemanrecommendations #movies #film #actors #intervie
