	Scanlines: Video and Game Reviews
		Like American cornball, for instance: It is in Knute Rockne that we find a smoothly pomaded Ronald Reagan as the tragic George Gipp, uttering his famous deathbed "win just one for the Gipper" line.
		Or American virtue: Knute Rockne is a testament to team spirit, moral fortitude, and the salubrious effects of nifty broken-field running.
		As for Knute's take on football as character development, that notion is dismissed quite plainly as "the usual bullshit": Far from a Rocknean picture of clean sportsmanship and right living, North Dallas Forty is a raunchy, raucous, locker-room keg party of a film.

		The legend of Knute Rockne has grown even bigger since his death over 75 years ago, but standing in the presence of his final resting place made me realize that it is not the size of the monument that makes a man great, it’s what he does in life that matters.
		Besides Rockne and the Four Horsemen, another equally legendary figure to come out of Notre Dame was George Gipp, a.k.a., “The Gipper.” Gipp died of pneumonia on December 14, 1920 at the age of 25 following his senior football season.

		Pat O’Brien plays the Notre Dame legendary coach Knute Rockne in the fl-and-white “Knute Rockne All American” made in 1940.
		The film memorializes that moment and the time years later when Rockne uses the Gipper speech to fire up a squad that was losing to Army at halftime during what turned out to be Rockne’s final game as coach after 13 seasons and five national championships.
		“Knute Rockne All American” may be an overlooked underdog of fall sports movies today, but the film’s ability in 1940 to tell the important story of Rockne, Notre Dame and Gipp with a smattering of real football scenes makes it an original sports classic film.

		The result is a long series of episodes from Rockne's life that have varying degrees of appeal, such as when he picks up the idea for his backfield shift from watching chorus girls dance and experiments with the idea using his wife and their dinner guests.
		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.

		First, Knute Rockne as a boy came to America with his parents from Norway.
		Free to express their genius, individual Americans, men and women, in 3 1/2 seconds, would perform such miracles of invention, construction, and production as the world had never seen.
		My hope today is that in the years to come -- and come it shall -- when it's your time to explain to another generation the meaning of the past and thereby hold out to them their promise of the future, that you'll recall the truths and traditions of which we've spoken.

		The film is just as famous for the role Ronald Reagan played as the gifted, heroic George Gipp, the school's first All-American who died at the end of his last year.
		The famous dying words 'Win one for the Gipper' is the emotional linchpin of the film, one may actually find himself waiting for the scene.
