Harder They Fall
<HR style="COLOR: #aaaaaa" SIZE=1>My earliest encounter with boxing history occured in 1956. My dad took me to the show to see Bogie's last film The Harder They Fall. After seeing the film dad spent the rest of the day regaling me with stories about the historical fighters that were models for the characters in the film. For these very nostalgic and sentimental reasons this film (along with Gentleman Jim) tops my list of favorite boxing films.

Here's Toro Moreno, the hapless Agrentine fighter based on Carnera. He was played by a large wrestler, Tarzan Mike Lane.

Toro Moreno HW slugger 2

CONN CHRIS · 12-28-2006, 05:23 PM

Gentleman Jim
<HR style="COLOR: #aaaaaa" SIZE=1>Gentleman Jim is my other favorite boxing film. When I was a kid I thought that James J. Corbett was the greatest boxer ever because of this movie. In close ups in the film Romano notes that Billy Conn did the footwork. Freddie Steele was Errol Flynn's stand in for the barge fight. Jack Roper ko'd Flynn three times in workouts. This composite reflects that. Steele type of power in a Conn/Corbett type of boxer with a chin that is a tad iffy.

Corbett Flynn HW boxer 12

Perfect Speciman
<HR style="COLOR: #aaaaaa" SIZE=1>In The Perfect Specimen (1937) Gerald Beresford Wicks was played by Errol Flynn. I was always a big fan of Errol Flynn and swashbucklers, but this is one of his films I've never seen. If anybody can identify the actor or character that was his ring opponent in this film I'd welcome the information.
