The REAL Marty Supreme: The Marty Reisman Story

Seen the Marty Supreme movie? And all the hype? Here's the story of the real Marty, the man who inspired it all, shot in New York in May 2001. From hustling in Manhattan to gold smuggling in the Far East, from seeing his star status in table tennis wiped out by the arrival of the sponge bat to teaching youngsters to play the game, this is the true tale of a unique character told in his own words with wonderful contributions from Marty's wife Yoshiko, his lifelong pal the comedian Jackie Mason, club owner Ruby Alabama, table tennis historian Tim Boggan, Scott Gordon of the US Hardbat Association and many more.
