Kid Galahad is a typical fight film of the 30's. Up and coming fighter, Ward Guisenberry (Wayne Morris), has a tough talking manager, Nick Donati (Edward G. Robinson). Both "Fluff" Phillips (Bette Davis) and Marie Donati (Jane Bryan) are the women who fall for him. Humphrey Bogart, as Turkey Morgan, is the racketeer who sets up a fixed championship bout.

[edit] Trivia

According to his New York Times obituary of December 3, 1975, the playwright and screenwriter Lawrence Riley, famous for his Broadway hit Personal Appearance (basis of Mae West's Go West, Young Man), contributed to Kid Galahad's screenplay, although uncredited.

The movie was remade in 1962 as an Elvis Presley musical featuring Gig Young and Charles Bronson. The earlier version was re-titled The Battling Bellhop for television distribution in order to avoid confusion with the Presley film.
