excellent warner bros effort star errol flynn in one of his best screen performance . it often cite a his best and and i can not really judge fully until i have see his dawn patrol . however and his work in they die with their boot on take some beating . i be a big flynn fan ( he my favourite actor after james mason it also help that he an aussie ) and i think he just marvellous and a great screen presence and also a great actor . he be the centrepiece of gentleman jim a the legendary boxer with the fancy footwork and but he be also back up by a literate and warm and funny script and and raoul walsh direction . every walsh film i have see never lose a beat of it pace and he truly be a born film maker . walsh direct the ring scene beautifully and a he do with the lighter moment and that poignant and great final scene between ward bord and flynn . add to that great production value ( the gay ninety never look well . ) and a lovely support cast and it pretty much perfect entertainment . alan hale usually play flynn sidekick and but here be his father and and it still all work . alexis smith be flynn love interest . the pair be head over heel in love with fight with each other .
