    I saw the movie Cinderella Man a few nights ago which is about the 1930s-era boxer James J. Braddock.  It originally came out around 2005 and seeing if for the first time, I was impressed by the story line.  Even if you're not big into boxing, it's still a good movie.One of the things that comes into play in the movie is “Hooverville”, a tent city for the homeless or others hit hard during the early 1930s which was set up right in Central Park in New York.  According to this site there was a bit of an anachronistic error in regards to its display in the movie but it's still interesting to see nonetheless.I found out afterwards that one of the prominent boxers in the movie, Max Baer, was actually the father of Max Baer Jr.  Ok, that's not the surprising part.  If you recall your TV history, Max Baer Jr. played Jethro Tull on the Beverly Hillbillies.  Well gah-uh-ah-lee!

    Jethro Bodine is the correct name.  (and wasn't gah-uh-la-lee for Gomer Pyle?)Cinderella Man was a pretty good movie.  Saw it a while ago though, so don't remember much.
