Page "The Champ" Paragraph 22
from
Wikipedia
A number of motion pictures in the 1930s, some of them even starring Wallace Beery, repeated the basic story about a man surrendering to drink and redeemed by the love of his long-suffering son.
Film critic Judith Crist has argued that almost any film pairing an adult actor alongside a child actor must be compared to The Champ in terms of the chemistry between the actors and the effectiveness of the film.
The Champ is considered one source film which inspired Yasujiro Ozu's classic Japanese film, Passing Fancy ( Dekigokoro, 1933 ).
