GENTLEMAN JIM

Details

• Release Year: 1942
• Genre: Comedy, Drama
• Plot: Heavyweight champ John L Sulivan boasts he 'can lick any man in the world'. That was before he fought 21 fateful rounds against challenger James C Corbett. Errol Flynn portarys dapper Corbett, whose style in and out of the ring helped bring acceptablility to what had been an unsanctioned, back room sport. The role was a Flynn favorite, and he rigorously schooled himself in the gliding footwork, deft jabbing, feinting and left hooking that were Corbett trademarks. Raoul Walsh, director of seven Fliynn films, balances bravura fisticuffs with family vignettes and flirtatious romance (Alexis Smith is Flynn's co-star). And Ward Bond plays roisterous Sullivan, a legendary ring king dethroned by one clever but tough gentleman.
