Straight off the cob. Occasional cinematic flourishes redeem what otherwise plays today as a boilerplate melodrama about a ne'er do well father and his adoring son. Beery is charming and Cooper is effective, but all only within the confines of a predictable, manipulative, sappy script. Irene Rich is awful.

It takes tough skin to get out of this film without a few bruises and a bad black eye. Vidor was a man on the move, a director who believed firmly in a literal execution of the motion picture, and his camera movements flow so naturally that they disappear. Wallace Beery rightfully earned an Oscar for his title performance in 1931, but it means nothing without Jackie Cooper's raw symmetry; here is a child actor with a head on his shoulders, a person who understands his part and makes it real, and his success makes him look more mature than almost every adult actor in the film- many of whom are, ironically, childishly theatrical. This film is surprisingly rarely cited; its influence has been echoing between the walls of American cinema for seventy-eight years, and it quite obviously made an impression on Martin Scorsese, a director who would borrow thematically and stylistically from it in 1980. A knockout.

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.

This classic starring Jackie Cooper and Wallis Beery from 1931 tells the story of a young boy who adores the father who is raising him alone, and struggling to keep them afloat. The father (the Champ as the boy calls him) is a has been boxer, a drinker and a gambler but he dearly loves his son. Together they make it work because of their love and devotion to one another. Along comes his mother who left him with the Champ many years before. She is married to a wealthy man and wants the boy back. The Champ struggles with what is right and would offer the most benefit to the boy against his own love and devotion for him. It's a tear-jerker to be sure, and though the remake was very good I have to say this original will always be my favorite.
