Anecdotes
At Dick Powell's initial appearance (11:40 into the film), he is standing in line at the college bursar's office when interrupted by entering students. The second person he shakes hands with is John Wayne in an uncredited five-second cameo appearance; this would be Wayne's last bit part. Later (15:10 into the film, followed by other scenes), in the brief role of assistant coach to Pat O'Brien's title character, is another unbilled player - Ward Bond - who, between 1929 and 1959, appeared with Wayne in 24 films.

Gaffes
Dialog and an on-screen document establish that the film opens with university trustees listening to a Saturday college football game on November 25, 1931 -- which date was a Wednesday.

College Coach (1933)

*** (out of 4)

Warner film about Coach James Gore (Pat O'Brien) who is hired by a college to turn their football team into winners. Gore is able to do this in one season but some of the trustees don't like how he did it. Fixing test scores, playing players to come to school and overlooking various other violations are just some of the ways of winning. Dick Powell plays a player who wants to play fair, Lyle Talbot is the star of the team who doesn't care if he's failing all his classes and Ann Dvorak plays Gore's wife. There's a lot to enjoy in this film even though there are still quite a few flaws. The strongest thing going are the performances, which are really strong and that includes O'Brien who comes off like a real coach. Talbot steals the film however as the ruthless idiot who only knows football. Even John Wayne and Joe Sawyer plays small parts as members of the team. It was weird watching a football game from this era in the way it was played compared to today and I'm not sure if it's true but the film gives some numbers as to how many people are killed playing the sport during this time, which was pretty shocking.
