So, as far as I could make out...a 60 year old college student who talked like James Cagney played football really well, and then graduated from college and became a coach of the same team until he was 75 years old, at which time he died in a plane crash. And Ronald Reagan was there too! Except the real Knute Rockne had a Norwegian accent, was 21 when he started playing college football and was killed in a plane crash at 41. What the casting people were thinking is beyond me. Acting was terrible. Story was sappy. Another example of an old movie that just doesn't hold up today. It's just not good on any level.
