About The Corbett-Fitzsimmons Fight
This legendary fight was filmed on March 17, 1897, using 63mm film that produced an aspect ratio of about 1.75:1. Using three adjacent cameras, Enoch Rector recorded the entire fight, simultaneously creating the world's first known feature film, as the resulting footage lasted over 90 minutes in length. About a quarter of the film survives today.
Directed by Enoch J. Rector, The Corbett-Fitzsimmons Fight leans on a strong ensemble — James J. Corbett, Bob Fitzsimmons, Billy Madden — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 1897.
