Watched Knute Rockne, All American this afternoon on AMC. Believe it or not, I had never seen it before, at least not the whole thing. The famous scene with Ronald Reagan as George “the Gipper” Gipp is completely overshadowed by Pat O’Brien’s inspired performance in the title role. Reagan is only on screen a couple of minutes, though it is a very good performance. Even so, it is interesting that this became his signature role, while all his leading man appearances are nearly forgotten.
