Geronimo1967
Well you cant fault James Earl Jones for tackling just about every issue on the books in this drama about a heavyweight boxer. Jefferson is the champion of the world and is making short shrift of his opponents. Needless to say, this is narking many of his (mainly white) brethren so when he and his fiancée Eleanor (Jane Alexander) fall foul of rules banning mixed couples from inter-state travel they capitalise on this and have him arrested. Thanks to an outrageously pink shirt and a bit of legerdemain, he manages to escape to Europe where he finds things only marginally better. Thats not so much because of his colour, although that is a factor, its more because those vested interests in the UK and France dont want to see their own champions ...
