Movie Reviews of The Champ
Movie Review: ACTING AT ITS BEST!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Jackie Cooper's personal recollections of Wallace Beery and their films together at MGM are absolutely amazing, especially after seeing them together in this film; THE CHAMP. Cooper says there was no love lost between them; that Beery often ignored the kid, and that they had little communication or interaction off the screen. But to watch their scenes together as father and son in this classic is pure magic. If you don't cry at least a tear or two, you have no heart.
Too bad Warner doesn't release this film as a package deal along with its fellow remakes: The Clown (1953) with Red Skelton, and The Champ (1979) with Voight. What a three picture set that would be.
Summary of The Champ
Grab your dreams, come out of your corner and step out swinging. The double Oscar winner The Champ is ready to take on the world! With feet planted, chin tucked and its heart unashamedly on its sleeve, this original father-son tale (remade in 1979) remains one of the all-time great tearjerkers. In an Academy Award-winning Best Actor performance, burly Wallace Beery - he of the fog-cutter voice and gruff warmth - plays the washed-up prizefighter making a ring comeback to provide for his son. Nine-year-old Our Gang comedy star Jackie Cooper is Dink, as devoted a son as ever stood in any man's corner. Laugh. Cry. Cheer. Cry some more. Even as The Champ breaks your heart, it heals the spirit.Drama DVD Video
