What happens

Harmon of Michigan is a 1941 American sports film directed by Charles Barton and starring Tom Harmon, Anita Louise and Larry Parks. Ostensibly a biopic about University of Michigan football player Harmon's post-collegiate career as a coach, it was actually filmed immediately upon his graduation and is thus entirely fictional. Harmon, who was an all-American and Heisman Trophy winner at Michigan, plays himself in the film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
