Gentleman Jim

“The grandest story of the Naughty "Nineties" becomes the gayest picture of the Fighting "Forties!"”

Boxing is moving out of the bare-knuckle era and into one with new rules, and James J. Corbett (Errol Flynn) is a brash young man with quick feet who intends to climb straight to the top. Raoul Walsh keeps the ring bouts and the society parlors moving at the same brisk pace, with Alexis Smith, Jack Carson and Alan Hale around him. Jim talks as fast as he moves, loves every minute of the attention, and cannot stop grinning while he does it.
