Plot Summary:
"Kid Galahad" is a classic boxing film set in the world of professional boxing during the 1930s. The story centers around Ward Guisenberry (Wayne Morris), a young man with a talent for boxing. He gets the nickname "Kid Galahad" when he starts training with Nick Donati (Edward G. Robinson), a boxing manager with a reputation for turning talented amateurs into successful fighters.
Ward's rise in the boxing world is complicated by his romantic involvement with Louise "Fluff" Phillips (Bette Davis), who works as a singer at a local nightclub. Fluff is also romantically pursued by Turkey Morgan (Humphrey Bogart), a ruthless gangster with ties to the world of boxing. As Ward's career progresses, he faces both the challenges of the boxing ring and the dangerous influence of Turkey, who wants to control his career.
The film explores themes of ambition, loyalty, and the corrupting influence of the boxing industry. It showcases the gritty and often brutal world of professional boxing during the Great Depression, where fighters like Ward must navigate a treacherous path to success.
Edward G. Robinson delivers a solid performance as Nick Donati, the experienced boxing manager, while Bette Davis brings her charm to the role of Fluff, the nightclub singer who becomes entangled in Ward's life. Humphrey Bogart's portrayal of the menacing Turkey Morgan is a notable highlight.
"Kid Galahad" is a classic example of the boxing film genre of the 1930s, known for its compelling characters, intense fight sequences, and the portrayal of the struggles faced by aspiring boxers. While not as famous as some other films of its era, it remains a solid and enjoyable entry in the genre and is remembered for its cast's performances and the electrifying boxing sequences.
