Most people don't know this, but Robert Taylor was not the first choice for the Bob Merrick role. It was, in fact, Max Baer...the former heavyweight champion. Max wanted the role but couldn't take it because he wanted a rematch with Jim Braddock who had beaten him for the title in mid-June 1935. Max had to put the Magnificent Obsession role on hold...and wound up losing it to Taylor. Can anyone picture how Max Baer would have been as Bob Merrick?
