The Greatest

Tom Gries
Director

Biopic, auto-biopic of Cassius Clay aka Muhammad Ali from his Olympic medal triumph to the present (well 1977's present anyway).

You've gotta give the guy points for appearing as himself during a somewhat controversial life and doing a fairly good job of it.

Director Tom Gries passed before the movie's release and receives an opening credits dedication.
