Exclusive“Good News” (1947): First Football Film

College football has been a beloved American pastime for generations. The fun, folly, and excitement of the big game is captured in a lighthearted musical about university life in the 1920s, “Good News” from 1947. This film started as a stage musical by the same name twenty years earlier, at which point it was set in modern times. By the time it was adapted into this Technicolor movie extravaganza, however, its setting was two decades old. The cast features MGM favorites like Peter Lawford, June Allyson, and Ray McDonald. It’s full of catchy tunes, impressive dance numbers, and exciting football scenes. The setting in the ever-popular Roaring Twenties is quite approachable for those less familiar with early 20th century culture because this film was a period piece when it was made. Thus, understanding of current events isn’t taken for granted. It’s an ideal blend of romantic musical and athletic adventures which is sure to please music lovers and sports fans alike!
