I Didn't Know Life Could Be So Long

A portrait of Italian boxing champion Tiberio Mitri, from a hard postwar youth to European and world-title glory — including his famous fight against Jake LaMotta in New York. The film follows his later years too: a second life in film and showbusiness, a marriage to a former Miss Italia, and a decline marked by addiction and loss, tracing an arc from New York's clubs to a fading postwar Trieste.
