	TyCobb.org - Ty Cobb Biography
		Cobb won the Triple Crown in hitting.377 with 107 RBI and 9 home runs, all of which were inside-the-park home runs.
		Cobb was having an incredible year in 1911, but by the end of the season, ”Shoeless” Joe Jackson had a 9 point lead on him in batting average.
		Cobb felt that it was those mind games of his that caused Jackson to "fall off" to a final average of.408, while Cobb himself sailed home with a.420 average, 248 hits, 147 runs scored, 144 RBI, 83 stolen bases, and the league lead in doubles, triples, and slugging average.

	Biography for Lee J. Cobb (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Cobb joined the politically progressive Group Theater in 1935 and made a name for himself in Clifford Odets' politically liberal dramas "Waiting for Lefty" and "Til the Day I Die", appearing in both plays that year in casts that included Elia Kazan, who later became famous as a film director.
		Cobb achieved immortality by giving life to the character of Willy Loman in the original 1949 Broadway production of Arthur Miller's "Death of a Salesman." His performance was a towering achievement that ranks with such performances as Edwin Booth as Richard III and John Barrymore as Hamlet in the annals of the American theater.
		Cobb's own persecution by HUAC had already caused a nervous breakdown in his wife, and he decided to appear as a friendly witness in order to preserve her sanity, and his career, by bringing the inquisition to a halt.

	In The Mirror with Kieth Hamilton Cobb - Woubi-Yossi Collective - tribe.net
		COBB: Patrik asked me and Patrik’s work had been established in Punks and we are friends and I know that he has artistic sensibilities that are integral to who he is, that’s he’s going to attempt in the least case to stand by.
		COBB: I just wished that given all the things that he was set up to be, all the character imperatives that he had…his depth, his physicality, his politics, his outward gay sensibility, his sensitivity, it would just be great to tell a bigger story, that’s all.
		COBB: I think that Quincy’s media whoredom is something that he embraces as a tool to service that community that he calls his own, and he cares very deeply for this young man and saw an opportunity to levy that power, use those tools for the betterment of this young man’s cause.

		Cobb greets Stump with a blast of buckshot, and holds him at gunpoint whenever Stump argues with him, threatening to kill the reporter in the blink of an eye.
		Cobb's belief in his own greatness is a belief in his superiority to almost everyone else, but he also knows he's a nasty prick.
		Cobb's desire to invest himself with enough stature to stand up to death is both weirdly heroic and the thing that cuts him off from the living.

		Shelton's decision to make a commercial feature about Cobb begs the question 'why make a movie about someone who was inherently unlikeable?' Every first year film school student knows the protagonist needs a few redeeming qualities in order to be palatable to an audience.
		Cobb, unrepentant and fiery as ever, knows he's dying and hires Stump to write a sterilized autobiography of his life in baseball.
		Cobb never really changes during the course of the film, but because he is honest about who he is, he wins Stump's grudging respect.

	Cobb
		The Nativity is a film which goes just far enough from the hokey to be satisfyingly profound.
		Films always approach them as if they are completely dumbfounded by what is about to happen or strangely calm and precient, full of capital D Dignity.
		Maybe I'm getting soft in my old age, but this film was an emotional experience for me, especially since I saw it with my brothers and some of their kids.

	Paths of Glory (1957)
		Based on the novel by Humphrey Cobb, the film was initiated by Kirk Douglas, who chose the young Kubrick to direct what would become one of the most powerful films about the wasteful insanity of warfare.
		The film is unflinching in its condemnation of war and the self-indulgence of military leaders who orchestrate the deaths of thousands from the comfort of their luxurious headquarters.
		The film may be read as a testament to human courage, compassion, and spirit that battles valiantly for survival despite the efforts of tyrants to vanquish principle and humanity.

	COBB - DVD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Completely uncompromising in a way that films, especially sports films, just aren't, Ron Shelton's Cobb is one of the most effective hagiographies in film history not for the way that it elevates its subject to sainthood, but for the way that it allows its subject to be one of history's most notorious, relentless miscreants.
		That at some level Cobb is about progeny and immortality more than the lionizing of a grand fiend is a testament to Shelton's unflinching handling of the material and to Jones' performance, which transcends the fire-breathing showiness to become something that almost encapsulates a century-and-a-half of American history in all its ugly machismo.
		Opening with a newsreel mock-up à la Citizen Kane, the first and fatal flaw of Cobb is that it begins its story proper with the execrable Robert Wuhl as sportswriter Al Stump, meeting a roundtable of sports writer cronies to debate in portly Algonquin masturbation.

	Cobb Film Review - Time Out Film
		In the years surrounding WWI, Ty Cobb was baseball's most successful player, but this dark, probing portrait isn't really a sports movie.
		Shelton's film is about the nature of truth and popular myth, about the single-minded pursuit of glory, and the horrors within.
		Jones gives a grandstand performance - this is his Patton, or even perhaps his Macbeth - as the pistol-packin', pill-poppin' Cobb, a monster who daren't look himself in the face, and refuses to apologise.

	Review: Cobb
		Cobb is a character study of the greatest man ever to play Major League baseball.
		Rather, the film is an examination of Ty Cobb's personality -- a look at the demons that made him as much of a terror off the baseball field as on it, and which didn't depart once his career was over.
		The film is perhaps too long; much of the last half-hour feels excessive and redundant.

	The Three Faces of Eve (1957): Joanne Woodward, David Wayne, Lee J. Cobb - PopMatters Film Review
		As the film illustrates, inescapable trauma can cause the brain to partition experiences, in order to escape pain, however temporarily.
		Woodward studied the case files of Eve White before filming began, and came to the set prepared to deliver as rigorously factual a portrayal of the disease as possible.
		While the division of personality caused by primal trauma can be healed through the process of confronting and exhuming the painful past, the film presents Eve's successful treatment in an unrealistically pat conclusion.
