6/7/2023 0 Comments Million dollar baby danger![]() ![]() Underneath Frankie's crusty exterior lies the romantic heart of an unabashed showman. Frankie Dunn, the irascible old cuss who reluctantly takes on a young female boxer named Maggie Fitzgerald (Hilary Swank), is a man of few words, whose strictly-business approach to training is to strip his fighters "down to the bare wood." At the same time, Frankie has a flair for ballyhoo, evidenced by the flashy silk robe he designs for Maggie - emblazoned with a Gaelic nickname that quickly catches on with her fans - and the bagpipe players he commissions to escort her into the arena before a pivotal fight. It might only be a coincidence that the character played by Clint Eastwood in "Million Dollar Baby" bears more than a passing resemblance to Eastwood the director.
