Diosprometheus

This is a basic biography of eventual football Hall of Farmer Elroy Hirsch. It details some of the inures he had to overcome before joining the Los Angeles Ram. The biographer is pretty straight forward. The film is made more interesting due to the historic footage of Crazy Legs going back to his days as a university player. Many of the great players from that time are in this film especially those on the Rams, black players like Deacon Towler and Tank Younger, Hofers like Tom Fears and Norm Van Brocklin. This film is way better than expected and should be of great interest to football fans. Review too short. Your kidding.

This is basically a promotion film for Disney upcoming movie Westward Ho, the wagon. The film is plot less. The actors play themselves around the campfire and tell stories that are in the upcoming movie. There are some explanations of what life was like in the 1840s that some would find interesting about how to pack stuff, what foods they would eat, how they would interact with the Indian tribes along the way, the forts they would find along the trail, the buffaloes, the types of medicines the Indian doctors uses versus that of the pioneers. Fess Parker acts as a sort of host for the movie that is being promoted.

Okay, we get it. When this episode was made the Woman's Lib movement was in full swing with bra burnings, marches and yells of Male Chauvinist Pigs. Gloria Steinem was writing manifestos for the new movement, harridan Betty Friedan published The Feminine Mystique, women everywhere were demanding equal rights and equal opportunities. They were breaking into professions that had been restricted to them, such as police work, medicine, law. This episode jams all that into itself voicing the concerns of the bygone movement. At time, it was made no doubt it was voicing legitimate concerns and introducing new ideas. It may have even been seen as novel and fresh, but today it is just the most annoying episode every to hear all the gripping and battle between the sexes, which comes off as contrived an phony.
