Featured review
The Year In Football
This RKO-Pathe short subject shows some clips of the latest college football season, arranged by match. It's one of a series of similarly named movies from 1948 through 1956; this one is unique in that it doesn't have the year in the title. It's apparently compiled from newsreel footage taken by the company's cameramen. In the waning days of short subjects, college football was a popular enough subject to call for camera coverage and this sort of wrap-up short, with the unnamed narrator providing radio-like commentary.
The camera is placed a little too far from the field, and moves a bit too much to offer any real sense of the players' movement, and frequent cuts to the the cheering crowds break up the continuity, just like two of the games being interrupted when the fans tear down the goalposts before they are done using them.
