Review of The Champ (1931) by Joel A — 25 Feb 2017
The original classic that inspired the remake with Jon Voight in the late 1970's. This is a great compact film that does what it needs to do very effectively.
The story of a broken down washed up boxer & his enormously loyal son Dink played by Child Sensation Jackie Cooper.
Filled with many tender & touching scenes compliments of the screenplay written by Frances Marion. Wallace Berry did a great job with his role & this film was a delightful surprise.
