Sullivan (Bond). Flynn adds just the right note of swagger to what was one of his favorite roles. [More]

Reviews for Gentleman Jim
One of the most lovable, funny and enthusiastic of all film biographies.
...has all the exuberance, excitement, romance, and high good humor that is missing in many of today's so-called inspirational sports films.
Superior -- if largely fact-free -- biopic with Flynn as the character should have been rather than as he was.
