Gentleman Jim

Superior -- if largely fact-free -- biopic with Flynn as the character should have been rather than as he was.
March 31, 2007
...has all the exuberance, excitement, romance, and high good humor that is missing in many of today's so-called inspirational sports films.
October 18, 2010
The most kinetic of period pieces, the least pious of biopics, Walsh's Grand Illusion, an elegy for men trying to hang on to the notion of blood sports as games of honor

Errol Flynn excels as the brash, social-climbing Corbett.
January 04, 2005
Romanticized Jim Corbett boxing fable; Flynn is still fun to watch.
July 17, 2009
One of the most lovable, funny and enthusiastic of all film biographies.
August 09, 2009
Walsh trusts his viewers to value ability and wit over humility and pathos, resulting in one of the most roundly entertaining of all sports films.
