gentleman jim be another case of print the legend and with errol flynn play the legendary boxer a a brash but charismatic social climber in a rollicking entertainment that barely stop for breath . it a pointless look for historical accuracy here a it be in flynn the charge of the light brigade this be sheer hokum with all the stop pull out and film on a surprisingly lavish scale and give a real sense of energy by raoul walsh vivid direction . flynn be still at the height of his power ( you would never guess he suffer a mild heart attack during the production ) and with alexis smith a beautiful romantic sparring partner and perpetual sidekick alan hale along for good measure and this time a flynn father ( jack carson take sidekick duty this time ) . indeed and even the pirate galleon from flynn early movie make a somewhat out of place cameo in a dockside bout . the 103 minute just breeze by .
