Gentleman Jim (1942) unfolds in the vibrant yet challenging world of 1880s San Francisco, where boxing is deemed illegal and socially unacceptable. The esteemed members of the Olympic Club, driven by a desire to elevate the sport, decide to transform it into a more refined and respectable endeavor. They choose Jim Corbett, a charismatic and outgoing young bank clerk, to be their champion under the newly established Marquis of Queensbury Rules. Corbett's rapid rise to fame and skill in the ring initially impresses his sponsors, but his ambitious social aspirations and boastful attitude eventually alienate them. Seeking retribution, his former supporters plot to humble their once-prodigious protégé. Undeterred, Corbett's groundbreaking footwork allows him to triumph over a series of formidable opponents, ultimately leading to a showdown for the world championship against his childhood hero, John L. Sullivan.
