Director: William Nigh
A popular high school valedictorian and star athlete becomes a pariah when it's discovered that his father is a former bootlegger.
Jacky Cooper’s greatest role as a child actor when he co-stared with Wallace Beery in perhaps Mr. WB’s greatest role in the film the CHAMP WOW WHAT A GREAT FILM THAT WAS maybe if we get real lucky someone will upload it??
You can find it anywhere
By all accounts Beery, loveable old cuss as Mayer marketed him, had a very dark side.
Champ was and still is terrific. I would like to see Skippy and Sooky tho .
"Abe Lincoln of 9th Avenue" aka "Streets of New York." It is fully restored and in great shape. You can thank me later. And yes, "The Champ" is a fine film......
"You gotta believe in yourself if you expect to get along in this world." My favorite quote.
A very strong n powerful forceful but also very loving FATHER
This movie still is good now as it was 55 years ago! Lol
I love the best friend, when defending his mate, he asks the snob how his father, the banker, made his money, with a fountain pen, not a gun. How true, even today. I wasn't paying attention obviously, Wt. the snobs father is a judge.
Also see him in "Abe Lincoln of 9th Avenue". A great film, in great shape, and especially at Christmas. Also released as "Streets of New York."
21:20 now that is what I call a true friend. 27 mins and what a headmaster? Mac Carthy should have watched this film before he went on his witch hunt for reds under the beds.
Head line at1 hr 11 mins is a conflict of interest isn't it?
I agree with MR Moore,just B yourself,it no-one else likes U then,believe in Yourself,it's the best U can do !😉
An entertaining film. 3 out of 5.
What's the young lads real name?bit of Humfrey look in him
"Gangster's Boy" is a bit more than dated and corny, but an okay way to spend an hour and 18 minutes. The post-Prohibition/post-Depression distaste for the unquestioned "respectability" of the Patrician American Judiciary, their lackey District Attorneys and their henchmen police forces, as well as the Elitist Bankers shines through as the FDR New Deal new American sensibility about "ruling castes" in the USA. This 21st century beleaguered American democracy NEEDS another injection of skepticism about the "upper caste" rule over the 99% of Americans who once again daily get a raw deal in the "Halls of Justice" as well as in the boardrooms of self-serving banks too big to fail and their criminal banker-gangsters too powerful to jail. Mus not close, however, without giving a GREAT BIG SHOUT OUT to that phenomenal Howard Hughes automobile, the Cord, that the Jackie Cooper character was given by his Dad!
Oh Brother! So respect for the law is old fashioned? The old class envy pitch, sounds familiar.
Such a good movie. Made me cry at the end. What a great values young generation seemed to have back then. ("for the good of our country"). I am glad that after precode era all movies required to have a good ending. Such a nice getaway from today's life and all these Chinese and Hispanics everywhere when you hardly see white people anymore!
So I take it from your statement your are not African American?

@Matrox One Sometimes you cry because it touches you, your soul.
what an awkward movie.................?
This was a boring, bland story for Jackie Cooper, it probably set his career back.
