Errol Flynn excels as the brash, social-climbing Corbett.September 04, 2004
Superior -- if largely fact-free -- biopic with Flynn as the character should have been rather than as he was.August 09, 2009

Romanticized Jim Corbett boxing fable; Flynn is still fun to watch.July 17, 2009
One of the most lovable, funny and enthusiastic of all film biographies.October 18, 2010

...has all the exuberance, excitement, romance, and high good humor that is missing in many of today's so-called inspirational sports films.
