Gentleman Jim

0 - Default Title
Description
Heavyweight champ John L. Sullivan boasts he "can lick any man in the world." That was before he fought 21 fateful rounds against challenger James C. Corbett. Errol Flynn portrays dapper Corbett, whose style in and out of the ring bring acceptability to what had been an unsanctioned, back-room sport. The rolse was a Flynn Favorite and he rigoursously schooled himself in the gliding footwork, deft jabbing, feinting and left-hooking that were Corbett Trademarks. Raoul Walsh, director of seven Flynn films, balances bravura fisticuffs with family vignettes and flirtacious romance (Alexis Smith is Flynn's co-star). And Ward Bond plays roisterious Sullivan, a legendary ring king dethroned by one clever but tough gentleman.
