This movie was fortunate to be able to film . . .

. . . Mr. Rockne's funeral on location where it really happened before the Notre Dame Cathedral burned down. (By the same token, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse probably can be better appreciated BEFORE the ACTUAL Apocalypse) KNUTE ROCKNE ALL AMERICAN details how modern football is based upon the titillating gyrations of half-dressed burlesque show gals. It's not much of a stretch to say that it suggests America would have won World War Two a couple years sooner IF Mr. R. had not given up his research creating synthetic rubber to mess around on the grid.iron. Apparently his college did not even have a geography department: everyone there calls him a "Swede," though he hails from Norway. KNUTE also goes to show that unlike the general public, U.S. celebrities are far more likely to expire in air crashes while lording over we Little People from high above our heads than they are to bite the dust in ground vehicle mishaps.
