Frankie Dunn (Eastwood), a down-on-his-luck former boxing manager, runs a small gym in downtown Los Angeles. One day, Maggie Fitzgerald (Hilary Swank) enters Frankie's gym and announces she needs a trainer. Frankie doesn't think much of women boxing and Maggie lacks experience and has no technique. However, she sees boxing as her one chance at a better life and won't give up easily desertcart.co.uk Review Clint Eastwood's 25th film as a director, Million Dollar Baby stands proudly with Unforgiven and Mystic River as the masterwork of a great American filmmaker. In an age of bloated spectacle and computer-generated effects extravaganzas, Eastwood turns an elegant screenplay by Paul Haggis (adapted from the book Rope Burns: Stories From the Corner by F.X. Toole, a pseudonym for veteran boxing manager Jerry Boyd) into a simple, humanitarian example of classical filmmaking, as deeply felt in its heart-wrenching emotions as it is streamlined in its character-driven storytelling. In the course of developing powerful bonds between "white-trash" Missouri waitress and aspiring boxer Maggie Fitzgerald (Hilary Swank), her grizzled, reluctant trainer Frankie Dunn (Eastwood), and Frankie's best friend and training-gym partner Eddie "Scrap-Iron" Dupris (Morgan Freeman), 74-year-old Eastwood mines gold from each and every character, resulting in stellar work from his well-chosen cast. Containing deep reserves of love, loss, and the universal desire for something better in hard-scrabble lives, Million Dollar Baby emerged, quietly and gracefully, as one of the most acclaimed films of 2004, released just in time to earn an abundance of year-end accolades, all of them well-deserved. --Jeff Shannon Review: Eastwood excellence - Excellent film from Clint Eastwood with deserved Oscars for Eastwood himself (best director and best film), Hilary Swank (best actress) and Morgan Freeman (best supporting actor). Should also have won Eastwood an Oscar for best actor. Review: Familiar ideas but rare to see them done this well - There is nothing new here. Clint Eastwood is gritty character with a good heart. Morgan Freeman plays the support role well. Hilary Swank is great as an underdog who convinces the cynical Eastwood to train her to be a boxer. Swank is excellent as Maggie Fitzgerald, the waitress who is so poor she has to eat her customers leftovers. Boxing is her ticket out of poverty, and Swank plays the role with a balance of naivete and cold determination. Eastwood is Frankie Dunn, a veteran manager of boxers and owner of a boxing gym. Of course, he is reluctant to train Maggie at first but, as you would expect, he caves in (with some rules, of course). Dunn is a man who has seen it all - enough to know what to expect, and enough to know that regret and glory are both part of boxing. It is the usual tale of an underdog fighting to the top, but the key is in how the story is told. Characters you sympathise with and cheer for, though are still all too human. Like the best sports films, this is more than just a tale of the sport, it is a tale about people and what they do with their lives. It is about what it means to have a chance at glory, and what it means to fail and have regrets. Without giving away the ending, I found this a tough but absorbing watch. Even if you have no interest in boxing - I do not care for it as a sport - this is a film well worth your time. That is more than what you can say for other winners of the Best Picture Oscar. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0007MAPTW | | Actors | Clint Eastwood, Hilary Swank, Jay Baruchel, Mike Colter, Morgan Freeman | | Aspect Ratio | 16:9 - 1.77:1, 16:9 - 2.40:1 | | Best Sellers Rank | 30,463 in Electronics & Photo ( See Top 100 in Electronics & Photo ) 596 in DVD-VCR Combinations | | Country of origin | United Kingdom | | Customer reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (2,687) | | Director | Clint Eastwood | | Is discontinued by manufacturer | No | | Language | English (Dolby Digital 2.0 Surround), English (Dolby Digital 5.1) | | Manufacturer reference | 5017239192968 | | Media Format | PAL | | Number of discs | 1 | | Package Dimensions | 19.2 x 13.6 x 1.5 cm; 91 g | | Producers | Albert S.

He has always been one of my favourite actors, ever since I saw him in the Dirty Harry films. Morgan Freeman and Hilary Swank are equally utterly brilliant too in their roles as co stars. The film is very moving and melancholy, but at the same time portrays a resilience in all of us when it comes down to beating the odds in whatever we want to achieve. Life is not always great, but we just have to battle a way through it and hopefully come out alright on the other side, I would highly recommend this film. It is already a true Classic in it's own right!! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/49563942-million-dollar-baby-dvd-2017](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/49563942-million-dollar-baby-dvd-2017) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
