1942 | 16mm | US | D: Raoul Walsh

A fictionalised biopic of the dashing James J Corbett (Errol Flynn), Gentleman Jim charts the rise of a witty bank clerk who revolutionises boxing with brains over brawn. Set in an era when the sport was barely legal, Raoul Walsh’s film contrasts Corbett’s refined technique with the raw brutality of bare-knuckle brawling, blending athletic spectacle with charm, wit and a dash of old-school Hollywood glamour.

‘Lavish, lustrous and none too accurate historically, it's Hollywood at its cavalier best, with a perfectly judged performance from Flynn, brash yet engaging, as the social-climbing Corbett.’ – Time Out
