Gentleman Jim Ratings & Reviews
Robocop79
November 3, 2024
Masterpiece
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
Errol Flynn is just jim-dandy in this entertaining film.
Chicago Tribune
Mae Tinee
It's all around excellent entertainment and I hope you'll take it in.
New York Times
Thomas M. Pryor
Errol Flynn is to the manner drawn as the impeccable Gentleman Jim, and Ward Bond has the richest role of his long and serviceable career as the blustering Sullivan.
New York Daily News
Irene Thirer
Gentleman Jim is both dramatic and amusing and will be particularly interesting to those who remember him and to those who would like to know about the first great boxer who relied upon brain and skill to overcome brawn.
Los Angeles Times
Edwin Schallert
The boxing scenes achieve striking reality, and when he is observed in them, Flynn seems especially facile, which is just what the portrayal needs in its pugilistic aspects.
Motion Picture Herald (Exhibitors Herald)
Bob Wile
An entertaining film as well as a veritable history of prize fighting.
Harrison's Reports
P.S. Harrison
Errol Flynn is very good as the cocky but lovable Corbett, as is the remainder of the cast in their respective roles.
The Film Daily
Film Daily Staff
It is a highly flavored and colorful picture that recaptures the full-bodied life of the early years of the century.
CinePassion
Fernando F. Croce
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
MovieMartyr.com
Jeremy Heilman
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.
Classic Film and Television
Michael E. Grost
One of the most lovable, funny and enthusiastic of all film biographies.
Variety
Herb Schoenfeld
There's much that's fiction in Gentleman Jim, also much redundancy, yet Warner Bros, has managed to turn out a good boxofflce film based on the life of James J. Corbett.
Movie Metropolis
John J. Puccio
...has all the exuberance, excitement, romance, and high good humor that is missing in many of today's so-called inspirational sports films.
TV Guide
TV Guide Staff
One of the best sports biopics ever. Historically inaccurate, but a directorial field day for director Raoul Walsh, who excelled at action direction and also period nostalgia.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Errol Flynn excels as the brash, social-climbing Corbett.
Kansas City Kansan
Steve Crum
Romanticized Jim Corbett boxing fable; Flynn is still fun to watch.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
Superior -- if largely fact-free -- biopic with Flynn as the character should have been rather than as he was.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
Walsh's subtle, sophisticated use of deep focus creates the perfect dramatic space for his dynamically directed actors, and the biographical format allows him to indulge his flair for loose story structures held together by strong cinematic rhythms.
