The Sport Parade (1932)

In the heart-thumping world of college athletics, dynamic duo Sandy Brown and Johnny Baker reign supreme, ruling the roost with their prowess in football, baseball, and track. Yet once they stride across the graduation stage, they find the world outside the university unforgiving, a realm where yesterday's college hero is today's forgotten man. Sandy, drawn by the glitz and glamour of professional sports, chases the allure of fame and fortune. Striving to capitalize on his athletic achievements, he dives headfirst into the world of endorsements and vaudeville appearances, only to find himself entangled in the dubious underbelly of professional wrestling, plagued by mounting debts and the gnawing realization that it's a game far more crooked than he ever anticipated. Meanwhile, Johnny embarks on a contrasting path, trading the adrenaline-fueled battles on the field for the intensity of the newsroom as a sports reporter. Despite their diverging trajectories, the two friends find their paths crossing once more as they both vie for the attention of the enchantingly talented newspaper cartoonist, Irene Stewart. In this whirlwind of ambition, rivalry, and romance, a colourful cast of characters weave in and out of the narrative. Most notably, a dry-witted radio announcer provides a steady stream of comic relief, wryly narrating the escalating antics of our former college athletes as they navigate the complex terrain of post-college life. "The Sport Parade" is a gripping exploration of friendship, ambition, and the often harsh realities of life after the bright lights of college athletics, a tale that's as much about the game outside the field as it is about the one within.

The Sport Parade is a drama movie featuring Joel McCrea.
