Million Dollar Baby
Eastwood's boxing drama
Million Dollar Baby is a 2004 film directed by Clint Eastwood about a female boxer and her trainer.
The title has become shorthand for an underdog story with a dark turn, or for someone whose promise is cut tragically short.
Earlier, it was a 1941 musical comedy and a popular 1930s song: She's my million dollar baby from the five and ten cent store.
