Romano is the author of a book.

Frederick V. Romano
The Boxing Filmography: American Features, 1920-2003
McFarland and Company, Inc., publishers
Jefferson, North Carolina, and London
ISBN 0-7864-1793-5

I got my copy via Amazon. It's an enjoyable read. Has lots of interestesting tidbits like Abie Bain being the influence for Anthony Quinn's portrayal of Mountain Rivera and influence of Buster Keaton's boxing scenes on Scorcese's treatment in Raging Bull.

I'm working from this book and a list of boxing films I compiled using the Internet Movie Database.

I've also used The Internet Broadway Database for info on theatre.
