Golden Gloves focuses on three Montreal boxers in training, exploring their lives and hopes. The 1961 film marked a shift among French-Canadian filmmakers at the NFB away from folkloric films towards works that dealt with contemporary Quebec society.[2][3]
One of the featured fighters, Black Canadian Ronald Jones, was later cast in a small role in Michel Brault's 1967 drama Entre la mer et l'eau douce.[4] A sequence with Jones and his brother was also used in the 2008 production The Memories of Angels.[5]
Release
editDuring its 1964–1965 season, CBC Television aired Golden Gloves as part of its NFB Presents series of short films.[6]
