    This was a decent movie about NHL's most famous hockey player back in the 40's & 50's.

    Probably the best sports movie in my oppinion.

    Dupuis is my favourite Montreal-based actor. Best delivery, in both French & English. Maurice Richard is someone all Canadian hear of, although most people are unaware of his contributions to the game.

    Wonderful biographical drama of Montreal Canadiens legend Maurice Richard chronicling his rise in the NHL from humble working class machinist in the 1930's to Montreal icon in the 1950's. The film features great old school hockey action and the struggle between not only class but...( read more) culture. I'm not a hockey or sports fan but I do like sports films like this. This is definitely the "Raging Bull" of hockey movies.

    If I were a hockey fan I might see this asa Richard is a legend among hockey fans. But I'm not a fan.

    Fantastic bio film of one of Canada's greatest athletes. A must for any true, knowledgeable hockey fan.
