Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - I love Bette Davis
I bought this movie because because I love Bette Davis not boxing. And she is as great as usual. glad I bought it. It was one my collection didn't have & wanted.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great fight picture
On the short list of top-notch fight films, Kid Galahad is played by Wayne Morris, a bellhop who knocks out a prizefight champ with one punch at a party. Promoter Edward G. Robinson signs him to a contract, and Bette Davis, Robinson's girl, falls in love with him. When Robby asks Davis to marry him she declines his offer and tells him her feelings about Morris; Robinson feels cheated and swears secret revenge on Morris. He does this by making a deal with crooked promoter Humphrey Bogart, insuring him the Kid will take a dive, but he wants Bogart's fighter (William Haade) to really pound Morris into the ground first. While in training, the Kid falls for Robinson's sister, played by Jane Bryan. During the fight, Robinson realizes Morris never played him for a sap regarding Davis, and tells him ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Another exciting Warner's film

"Kid Galahad" is one of a handful of films which Bette Davis made after her court case in 1936 and before superstardom was hers with "Jezebel" in 1938. Each of the films offered a change for Davis: from her ferocity in "Marked Woman" to her suffering heroine in "That Certain Woman" to her sarcastic comedy performance in "It's Love I'm After". She worked very hard and each film propelled her further to the top.

"Kid Galahad" is the second in these "transition" films and it is a very entertaining melodrama. The plot concerns the rise of a bellhop to the top of the prizefighting racket. His manager is Edward G Robinson, always an exciting and versatile performer. Humphrey Bogart plays a rival gangster and Davis is Robinson's girlfriend who falls for the bellhop, Wayne Morris. ...

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - One Of The Great 1930's Boxing Stories
The depression era spawned alot of the really memorable boxing pictures, such as Golden Boy and this effort "Kid Galahad", and Warner Brothers Pictures with their tough, no nonsense style of film making were ideally qualified to bring such stories to the screen. Here we have the perfect scenerio that Warner Brothers adapted from a Saturday Evening Post story by Francis Wallace about a simple Bell Hop who becomes a heavy weight champion and along with success finds romance in the most unexected places. "Kid Galahad", was Bette Davis' second film following her return to filming after her unsuccessful battle with Warner Brother's over the quality of the scripts she was being given. "Kid Galahad",is really a "man's picture", as they were called at the time and although Davis shines in the role of Louise ... Read More


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Credit Michael Curtiz With Another Good Movie
KID GALLAHAD is a film about the rise of a heavyweight fighter who starts out as a bellhop. Wayne Morris plays the part of the fighter. Edward G. Robinson has the role of his manager Nick Donati whose chief rival is a gangster named Turkey Morgan played by Humphrey Bogart. Betty Davis has the role of Nick's girl friend who is known as Fluff Phillips.

It may be a tired old story but the acting is generally superb. The supporting cast includes Jane Bryan and Harry Carey.I notice that Don Defore appears in a bit part as a ringsider.

Director Michael Curtiz also directed CASABLANCA as well as many other good movies. KID GALLAHAD received no Oscar nominations and definitely was not quite in the same league with CHAMPION which was made just twelve years later. The Academy Awards competition ... Read More
