What is a film in which portrayed a real life individual or a group of individuals?

Who portrayed them?

Do you believe the actor/actress portrayed the real individual well?

What about the true story in which the real life individual was involved in? How well was that told? How true was it?

Some films have inserted the individual in a fictional story that was or wasn't based on a real situation. How well was that shown?

Do you think the film convinced some people to research more on the subject and the real life individual?

Despite Rusty's antics which cost the movie a good hearing I think the whole story captured the life of a struggling family man in the Depression very well. The stevedores (wharfies in Oz) had one of the hardest jobs in the world at that time and had to fight to get a start. They captured that well here and the great story of success in the midst of misery.
