Hold That Co-ed (1938)
the gist of the film is missing in the review
Barrymore is the governor who builds a million dollar stadium, George Murphy is the football coach, Joan Davis is a co-ed who is put on the team, makes 28 straight field goals in a season of improbable upsets culminating with her scoring the winning TD in the big game.
Huey Long never championed the inclusion of a "girl kicker" on a football team.
And yes, reviews did praise it as the satire of the season.
I have a belief that the internet information is a mile wide and a millimeter deep. There is minimal research. A lack of digging deep. That depth thing. Here a movie has co-ed in the title and that she should be held, the mention of the reason for this co-ed, that the holding is football jargon as well as the romantic double entendre. Why write anything if this basic kernel is lost, neglected, forgotten?
