Movie Reviews of Knute Rockne All American
Movie Review: Knute Rockne 3/4/88 - 3/31/31
Summary: 5 Stars
Norwegian immigrant post office worker attended Notre Dame and popularized the forward pass with QB/roommate Gus Dorais-to-Rockne passes in the 35-13 upset of Army in 1913 as Ike watched from the West Point bench due to a knee injury from jumping off a galloping horse. In the movie "The Long Gray Line" Ike can be seen with his crutches during this game. Later Rockne the chemistry scholar took over as ND head coach attaining five undefeated/untied teams and 6 championships in 1919 1920 1924 1927 1929 1930. Gipp played 4 seasons and was ND's 1st All-American he died 12/14/20 from pneumonia related infection: " I've got to go, Rock. It's all right. I'm not afraid. Some time, Rock, when the team is up against it, when things are wrong and the breaks are beating the boys, tell them to go in there with all they've got and win just one for the Gipper. I don't know where I'll be then, Rock. But I'll know about it, and I'll be happy." In 1928 Rockne used the story to rally his team to an underdog victory over the undefeated Army team of 1928. The 4 Horsemen played from 1922-24, it was on 10/18/24 after Notre Dame's 13-7 upset victory over a strong Army team: "Outlined against a blue-gray October sky, the Four Horsemen rode again. In dramatic lore they are known as famine, pestilence, destruction and death. These are only aliases. Their real names are: Stuhldreher, Miller, Crowley and Layden. They formed the crest of the South Bend cyclone before which another fighting Army team was swept over the precipice at the Polo Grounds this afternoon as 55,000 spectators peered down upon the bewildering panorama spread out upon the green plain below." After the team arrived back in South Bend they posed, dressed in their uniforms on the backs of 4 horses from a livery stable. They played at a time when there were no separate offensive and defensive teams. All players had to play both sides. Once a player left the field, he could not come back into the game. A 27-10 win over Stanford in the 1925 Rose Bowl gave Rockne and Notre Dame the national championship and a perfect 10-0 record. Notre Dame had lost only two games combined in the 1922 and 1923 seasons. Both losses came against the University of Nebraska Cornhuskers in Lincoln before packed houses. Reagan plays George Gipp. Get the Reagan box set which contains 4 other excellent movies, notably Kings Row (Where's the rest of me?) and my favorite "The Winning Team" (the Grover Cleveland Alexander Story) in which he portrays the tragic Nebraska WWI epileptic vet who brought the first of 10 World Series championships to the Cardinals by winning games 2 and 6 in 1926 and saving game 7 against Babe Ruth's Yankees. Rockne's plane crash was due to stressed plywood and resulted in an overhaul of standards for new transport aircraft and a competition that eventually resulted in the all-metal Boeing 247 and Douglas DC-2.
Summary of Knute Rockne All American
I've decided to take up coaching as my life work, Knute Rockne says. Coach he does, revolutionizing football with his strategies, winning close to 90 percent of his games, and helping establish the University of Notre Dame's Fighting Irish as a gridironSimilar DVD Movies
