Review of Rudy

Rudy (1993)
7/10
Great Movie with 1 Small Technical Error
27 December 2006
As a long time Georgia Tech fan, you would think I wouldn't like this movie since we are the focus of the climatic scene in the movie (the losing team), however, that's not the case. I found the movie well acted, inspiring and entertaining.

There is one glitch, however. Since the movie purports to show a "real" game between Tech and ND I offer this: This is a small but interesting inaccuracy. The Georgia Tech Quarterback portrayed in the movie is wearing number "19", a factual impossibility because NO Georgia Tech player ever wears #19. That number was worn by freshman sensation and AA Clint Castleberry who played at Tech in 1941, then went off to WWII, was shot down off the coast of N. Africa while on a bombing mission and never recovered. In his honor, the #19 was retired and is never to be worn by any Tech player.
