I remember Fred running the NYC Marathon several years back when he was battling his cancer. It was really inspiring and I'm happy to see that there is a full length film about him.

But as someone who isn't currently running, but has done two marathons in my time, I enjoy learning about Fred - who I had never heard of until now. Thanks.

Personally I don't think it was too detailed. The movie is 95 minutes long if I'm not mistaken, your post took less than 5 minutes to read, which leaves over 90 minutes of viewing pleasure... I'll be back next week to check out the competition. --Steve Nice review Blaine. Personally I don’t think it was too detailed.

The suspense is in how the subject accomplishes that goal. After all, the NY marathon is now an established famous national event, which indicates that Lebow succeeded in a big way. Other cities do have marathons, but the NYM is legendary. So, thanks for the heads-up on a great story.

There is plenty that I didn't cover. Plus, the movie does a much better and more entertaining job than I can to convey the information. For those that haven't heard of Fred Lebow and don't want any "spoilers", I added a link up near the top that skips over the summary of his life and brings you straight to my review of the movie itself.
