‘Raging Bull’ delivers outside ring as classic sports film

Associated Press  

Jake LaMotta was a straight-ahead brawler, so determined to wreak havoc every time he entered the boxing ring that he handed the great Sugar Ray Robinson his first loss. “It’s not the way I am now, but the way I was then.” LaMotta fought 106 times, winning a middleweight title and meeting Robinson six times — five of them losses. But boxing is used mostly to set up the meat of the movie, including LaMotta’s relationship with Vicki, his second wife whom he met when she was 15 and quickly became obsessed with. “Those who think it’s a boxing picture would be out of their minds,” Scorsese said upon LaMotta’s death.
