Gentleman Jim

Looking lithe and lean, and more handsome than should be allowed by law, Errol Flynn was never better suited to a role than the legendary boxer James J. Gentleman Jim Corbett. Indeed, this rousing screen biography captures the essence of two colorful personalities - Flynn and Corbett - at the height of their careers. Set primarily against the backdrop of the 1880's San Francisco, the film follows Corbett's rise from bank clerk to world champion. With his lightning quick punches and dance-like footwork, the glib, cocky Irishman revolutionized the heretofore illegal prizefighting game, elevating it from bare knuckle brawling to the sport of skill it is today.
