The popular film became a boxing classic for the 1930s.
Solid Warners boxing yarn - you can't go wrong with Eddie G. and Bette.
Kid Galahad is just an okay boxing movie when you consider the talent involved. Edward G. Robinson seems to be just kind of... there and Humphrey Bogart merely turns in a canned Murderer's Row performance. Bette Davis plays a forgettable role but considering she's never looked better, I didn't mind. Kid Galahad
