Kid Galahad (1937)

When a bellhop Ward Guisenberry (Wayne Morris) knocks out fighter Chuck McGraw (William Haade), promoter Nick Donati (Edward G. Robinson) realizes he's a potential champ. "Kid Galahad" justifies Nick's confidence, but Nick's mistress Fluff (Bette Davis) falls for him. In turn, the Kid falls for Nick's young sister, Marie (Jane Bryan). Now overprotective brother Nick turns against his new fighter, leading to a near- disastrous title fight and a murderous confrontation. Humphrey Bogart, as Turkey Morgan, is the racketeer who sets up a fixed championship bout.
