College Coach (1933)
6/10
Forty or Fifty Men Get Killed Every Year -- That's Football!
12 December 2013
Interesting Pat O'Brien vehicle directed by William Wellman. Pat plays a college football coach with no morals or scruples at all. He's a totally corrupt, heartless SOB! Lyle Talbot plays the big-headed star of the team. Dick Powell is the honest goody-two-shoes who cares more about chemistry than football. Great support from Arthur Byron, Hugh Herbert, the lovely Ann Dvorak, Arthur Hohl, and Donald Meek. Nat Pendleton is also in this but he's way out of his depth as an immigrant student. Pretty terrible performance. Anyway, this one's worth checking out for the cast as well as the fact the movie flouts convention and basically has the "bad" people get away with everything!
