Description
A vintage movie poster quality reprint of ''Kid Galahad'' 2 - G. Robinson, Bette Davis, and Humphrey Bogart. The film is not to be confused with the 1962 version of "Kid Galahad," which is a remake with Elvis Presley in the lead role.
The story of the 1937 "Kid Galahad" revolves around the world of professional boxing. Edward G. Robinson plays the role of Nick Donati, a ruthless boxing promoter who discovers a talented young fighter named Ward "Kid Galahad" Guisenberry, portrayed by Wayne Morris. Donati sees the potential for profit in Kid Galahad and takes him under his wing.
Bette Davis plays Donati's sister, Fluff, who becomes romantically involved with Kid Galahad. Their relationship adds a romantic subplot to the film as Fluff navigates the complexities of her loyalty to her brother and her feelings for the aspiring boxer.
Humphrey Bogart plays the role of Turkey Morgan, a gangster and former boxer who has a history with Donati. Turkey's return to the boxing scene adds tension and conflict to the story.
"Kid Galahad" explores themes of ambition, loyalty, and the corrupting influence of the boxing world. It delves into the morally gray characters who populate the boxing industry and the choices they make in pursuit of success.
The film is known for its solid performances from the cast, particularly Edward G. Robinson, who excelled in tough guy roles during his career. Bette Davis brings her signature charm and talent to the role of Fluff, while Humphrey Bogart delivers a memorable performance as the menacing Turkey Morgan.
While "Kid Galahad" may not be as well-remembered as some of the other classic films featuring its lead actors, it remains a notable entry in the crime drama genre of the 1930s. The film's exploration of the boxing world, its character-driven storytelling, and the dynamic performances of its cast make it a piece of cinematic history worth revisiting for fans of classic Hollywood cinema.
