The Big Game (1936)
5/10
Kidnapped star player
14 September 2019
Some familiar character players plus a number of All Americans from that era of the 30s are in the cast of The Big Game. Phillip Huston because he's not one of THE Hustons is our lead and I'm sure most have never heard of him.

Huston is kidnapped before The Big Game and I'm I need go no further. You've seen that a dozen times over.

The film bears a slight resemblance to the John Wayne film Trouble Along The Way in that it raises issues about how college athletes are recruited. The issue was better raised in the Duke's film.

Some real football footage nicely integrated into the film. Huston is a most colorless hero though.
