7/10
Reasonably accurate...but incomplete since it was made in 1951...well before Hogan's career ended.

When the film began, I noticed that although it was supposed to be in the late 1920s, hairstyles were right from 1951. This isn't uncommon...and it's a minor complaint about an otherwise very good biopic. I say very good because although it took some liberties with the truth (such as creating the Chuck Williams character who did NOT exist), it stuck closer to his life story than most biopics seem to do!

The film follows Ben Hogan's life from his teens through his recovery from a near death auto accident. It's all very nice and inspiring and although the film never excited me, it did keep my interest. Worth seeing...especially if you love golf.
