Gentleman Jim

Screening on Film
Directed by Raoul Walsh.
With Errol Flynn, Alexis Smith, Jack Carson.
US, 1942, 35mm, black & white, 104 min.

I remember when I was doing Gentleman Jim with Ward Bond playing John L. Sullivan. After Flynn defeated him in New Orleans and became the world’s champion, Flynn’s manager threw a big party at the hotel and Ward Bond came and played a magnificent scene where he handed Flynn the World’s Championship belt and there’s some marvelous dialogue between the two of them and finally some tears came to Ward’s eye and he walked out. And when the scene was over, the whole cast, the electricians, the crew and everybody applauded. That was the kind of camaraderie they had. They were all marvelous people. – RW
