Description:

This DVD contains two documentaries about boxing legend Muhammad Ali, one focusing on Ali's brilliance in the ring and the other on his natural showmanship at the microphone. Skill, Brains & Guts begins with Ali's emergence as a great amateur fighter, then chronicles his career through the glory days of the 1960s, his exile from the ring following his refusal to join the military during the height of the Vietnam War, and his eventual comeback and landmark fights against Joe Frazier and George Foreman. The 1975 film is worth watching for all the fight footage of Ali in his prime, when he captivated the world with both his pugilistic skill and his entertaining arrogance. In His Own Words collects a number of rarely seen interview and press conference clips and showcases Ali as a remarkably skilled practitioner of what would become known as "talking trash." --Robert J. McNamara
