An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Harmon of Michigan, the 1941 Charles Barton college football sports biography ("The greatest grid star of them all... in a fast and furious thriller!"; "The mighty All-American star in an all-action thriller!") starring Tom Harmon (playing himself!), Anita Louise, Forest Evanshevski (billed as "Harmon's Great Team-Mate"), Oscar O'Shea, and Warren Ashe. Note that Tom Harmon was an extremely popular football player for the University of Michigan Wolverines. After his college career, his popularity caused Hollywood to make this biography of him, with Harmon playing himself. Soon after, he enlisted in the Army Air Corps, and was a war hero. After the war, he briefly played for the Los Angeles Rams, but his war injuries prevented him from being a major professional star. He later became an important radio broadcaster, and married movie star Elyse Knox and was the father of movie and TV star Mark Harmon, Christie Harmon, and Kelly Harmon. Many football fans consider him among the absolute finest college football players of all time! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
