The Making of Raging Bull
HOW did your book on the making of
Raging Bull come about?
I met up with Robert De Niro, or Bob as he likes to be called, at the end of last year to present him with a copy of
One Shot: The Making of The Deer Hunter, which was a book that we collaborated on together. He asked me what was next, and as a huge film fan,
Raging Bull was what immediately sprang to my mind, especially as last year was the 40th anniversary of the film’s release.
What makes the film so special, in your opinion?

Marvelous Marvin Hagler, the indestructible Brockton boxer who dominated the middleweight division for most of the 1980s, died of undisclosed causes Saturday in New Hampshire. He was 66.
A muscular left-hander with a shaved head who was renowned for his punishing fists, his granite jaw, and for treating bouts as battles, Mr. Hagler retired at 34 having won 62 of his 67 professional matches (52 by knockout) and drawing two. For seven years, he was the undisputed world middleweight champ.
