Smith of Minnesota (1942)
Smith's neighbor in Faribault

I was a neighbor of Bruce Smith and his family in Faribault during the late 50's and into the 60's. I saw this movie in the 50's when I was 10-12 years old, but I don't know where you could get a copy of it. It would certainly be fun to see again, especially the football footage. I remember the movie as being kind of "hokey" and of course the non-football parts of the movie had been "hollywoodized". The best and most exciting parts were the actual football footage. He was a very versatile player and made some truly amazing plays. Bruce was a friendly and humble man. He kept his Heisman on a ledge by the front door so he could hang the car keys on its outstretched hand. If my memory is correct, a couple of fingers had been broken off.
