The final scene where the former champ gives his belt buckle to Corbett is one of the best in sports film. Respect in sports is so valuable and this is shown is spades. Ward Bond\u2019s James L is humble in the end, unlike how he is played by him during the balance of the film.\u00a0 This just shows his superior acting ability show emotions. Flynn is wonderful and Alexis Smith is not only hot but can give as much as she could take.\u00a0 The supporting cast is also a highlight through the set pieces of this great film. \u00a0 A winner. <\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h6>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fredsportsextra.com\/?attachment_id=7830\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-7830\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-7830\" src=\"https:\/\/fredsportsextra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/maxresdefaultrrrrr-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fredsportsextra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/maxresdefaultrrrrr-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fredsportsextra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/maxresdefaultrrrrr-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fredsportsextra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/maxresdefaultrrrrr-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fredsportsextra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/maxresdefaultrrrrr-560x315.jpg 560w, https:\/\/fredsportsextra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/maxresdefaultrrrrr-107x60.jpg 107w, https:\/\/fredsportsextra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/maxresdefaultrrrrr.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h6><\/h6>\n<h6><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><em><strong>A nice review at: (http:\/\/letsnottalkaboutmovies.blogspot.com\/2012\/06\/gentleman-jim.html) &#8211;
