Dempsey (DVD)

He was a man of few words... but his fists spoke volumes! Treat Williams ("Everwood") stars as legendary 1930s pugilist Jack Dempsey, along with an all-star supporting cast featuring Sam Waterston ("Law & Order") and Sally Kellerman (M*A*S*H). After years of bare-knuckled prize fights and a disastrous affair with the conniving Maxine (Kellerman), Jack Dempsey seems destined for a life of poverty and obscurity. But when he's discovered by manager "Doc" Kearns (Waterston), Dempsey's true destiny is finally unleashed, winning him the world heavyweight title! But that was only the beginning for Dempsey, whose life became a whirlwind of legendary bouts, fame, women, scandal and a legacy as one of the greatest fighters of all time!
