One of the most lovable, funny and enthusiastic of all film biographies.

Romanticized Jim Corbett boxing fable; Flynn is still fun to watch.

Superior -- if largely fact-free -- biopic with Flynn as the character should have been rather than as he was.

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.

Errol Flynn excels as the brash, social-climbing Corbett.
