About this product

Product Information

This solid tearjerker fits into the pantheon of 1970s cinema as sort of a ROCKY meets KRAMER VS. KRAMER. John Voight plays Billy, an ex-champ boxer who now works at the Hialeah racetrack in Florida with his idolizing son, T.J. (Ricky Schroder). Billy has drinking and gambling problems, but still manages to be a loving single father until the boy's long lost mother (Faye Dunaway) shows up wanting her son back, and the emotional showdown begins. It all leads up to a thrilling comeback fight, and lots of tears for all concerned. This was director Franco Zeffirelli's first feature filmed in America, and he put his Florida locations to inspired use. The supporting cast is filled with lots of familiar faces, including Elija Cook, Jack Warden and Joan Blondell. Still, this is basically a three-character piece, and they are each amazing: Voight is fearlessly raw and vulnerable as Billy; Schroder--only nine at the time--projects incredible emotion and charm, and Dunaway brings a great blend of glamour and insecurity to her role as the deadbeat mother who, just like Billy, wants a second chance at redemption.

    Tear jerker!

    Omg! I just finished watching this movie and it was fantastic! If you like a good lifetime tear jerker kinda movie, you've gotta take a look at "The Champ!" With Ricky Schroeder as "TJ", Jon Voight as "Billy"(a former boxer)and Faye Dunaway as "Annie", his former wife. It's simply a must see! Bring on the tissues... you'll need it!

    The Champ Movie was fine, the DVD did not work.

    The DVD was too scratched to play in either of two computer drives or my blu ray player. I had to rent the film on streaming to complete the project that I purchased this for.

  • loved it

    This is a great show about the struggle of a single father to let go of anger and bad habbits and focus on what's important, a great family show. Bring tissues.
