Daily Telegraph (Australia)

Josephine O'Neill

Out of the blithely flctionised life of boxer James J. Corbett, otherwise "Gentleman Jim," Warners have made a robust, back-slapping, exciting movie which contains some of the most exciting fight scenes that ever thrilled the amateur.

It's all around excellent entertainment and I hope you'll take it in.

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.

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.
