Genres: Biography, Drama, Sports


Disc Specs

Blu-ray Disc (BD-50)

Resolution: 1080p High Definition

Aspect Ratio: 1.85:1 (original widescreen)

Audio: English DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1, 2.0 stereo

Subtitles: English SDH, French, Spanish


Video Quality

The Blu-ray delivers an impressive high-definition transfer with excellent clarity and color balance. Details in 1930s sets, costumes, and facial textures are sharply defined. While it lacks the expanded range of the 4K Dolby Vision version, contrast remains strong and natural, with deep blacks and warm tones throughout. The picture holds a genuine filmic texture, making it one of Universal’s better HD catalog presentations.


Audio Quality

The DTS-HD 5.1 mix delivers dynamic range and strong fidelity. Boxing sequences pack punch and weight, while quieter dramatic scenes maintain clear dialogue and ambiance. The stereo track is a faithful alternative, offering balanced output for simpler setups. The overall mix provides an emotionally engaging soundstage with precise balance between score, dialogue, and crowd energy.


Special Features

Featurette: The Fight Card: Casting Cinderella Man

Featurette: Ringside Seats: The Filming of the Fights

Featurette: The Real Cinderella Man: James J. Braddock Biography

Deleted scenes with optional commentary

✅ Overall Recommendation

The Blu-ray edition of Cinderella Man remains a strong performer for HD collectors. The image is clean, filmic, and full of detail, supported by a robust 5.1 mix that captures both the grit and triumph of the story. While the 4K disc is the ultimate presentation, this Blu-ray still stands tall as an emotionally powerful, reference-quality release.
