My wife and I just shared tears of joy. What an amazing man. My kids will watch his story someday. Thank you for sharing his story and this site...

Hi, I guess I wasn't the only one watching the incredible movie about the incredible man of your family tonight. What an inspiring story. It was a story that had to be told in an age where so few of these messages are heard. Thank you for sharing!

My husband and I just watched 'Cinderella Man' this evening. What an incredible man and a timeless inspiration to us all!! God bless James J. Braddock and family.

I just got off watching the movie, was quite moved and started googl'ing James Braddock. I was greatly inspired by him, his love for his family and his immense determination. It really makes you feel grateful for all you have and how we can take it for granted sometimes.

Just watched the Movie. Great Story!Thanks for keeping up this site!

Just watched the movie. Very inpirational and a reminder of how we need to be grateful for second chances and the fortune of family, friends and good health!

We just watched the movie and I have to say that it has been a long time since I have literally cried and cheered out loud during a movie.
How proud you must be to have had such an honorable man in your family.

I just saw the movie and was so intrigued by the story I wanted to learn more about the life of James J. Braddock. This website was very informative. I especially liked the photo galllery. Apparently, the movie was very true-to-life. I can see where he would've been an inspiration during desparate times.

Rented the movie last night and thought what an incredible guy he was! Loved to read about him and his life on the internet. The movie should have won an Oscar! Thanks for sharing this w/us!

Like so many others, I recently viewed the film with my husband. AMAZING! The man and his message of determination and perseverance have touched my heart and soul. Imagine my continued amazement when I came across this website. Great tribute to James and his family. I especially enjoyed the photo gallery and the "what are they doing now" sections about his family. Makes me want to go out and read the biography. Way to go Renee and Russell. Shame on you Oscar!

I watched the movie last night and thought it was absolutely fantastic. Jim's love for his wife and children was tremendously inspiring and his never give up attitude equally so. I applaud the man, his career, and the inspiration he gave to the American people in a dark period of their history. A true Champion.

Thankyou a brilliant story to bring to the masses.

I recently watched the movie, and found it most inspirational. To think that a person such as Braddock could raise to such heights is so commendable. He was a great Father and husband, striving to do the very best for his family. Should be more like him in the world.

Great and inspirational story. Braddock is a true American hero who overcame very tough times, put his family first and served his country in time of war.

Great web site. Wonderful movie! My family has a new hero. Every man needs hope and with that hope comes faith. James Braddock has lifted us a little higher with both.

Moved by the film Cinderella man.
What a man he really was going by the film. Makes you thinks how hard it was to get by in them days & how lucky some of us are now. He got a second chance & didn't look back.
Best wishes

I live on the other side of the world but felt truly inspired by the story of James Braddock in "The Cinderella Man" . What a man, what a heart. Bets wishes to his family.

My mother has a picture of my grandfather, Joseph A. Mannix, who was in charge of the municipal lodging houses in New York City during the great depression.
We have a picture of Mr. Braddock and my grandfather standing at an event during that time.

I have not enjoyed a movie more than Cinderella Man in many years. Who says hollywood can't make great movies if they want. Thank you Russell Crowe and Ron Howard for bringing such a wonderful and inspirational movie to the screen. We live at a time that we need more Jimmy Braddock's. The scene in which he returned his public assistance money was poignant. At a time when a large number of people believe that they are owed everything for little effort, Braddock's character should be a lessen, we have what we have because of the enormous courage and principles displayed in this movie.
Bravo! a great movie.

I do not usually like movies about boxing, but this one was an exception. You find yourself really cheering with the crowd. Great job!!! I really enjoyed it.

I watched the movie last night and it was very true to the bio that I just read about James Braddock. If my dad was alive, he probably could tell me about those boxing matches as my dad was born in 1908 so lived in the same time period as James Braddock. Many major boxing matches took place in Toledo Ohio that my dad would tell me about.

I just watched Cinderella Man for the first time last night and visited this web site this morning. This web site does a good job of answering the many questions that this outstanding movie generated. Thanks for presenting this information about this fine man and great champion.

The life this man led during very hard times should be a wake up call to anyone who thinks they have it tough today. People are so caught up in themselves today that we forget those who came before us the sacrifices they made. He was a true hero.
