It was full of inaccuracies. Germans weren't called "Jerries" ins WW1. The phrase "Lounge lizard" didn't come into use until the 1960s. Black singers were not backed by white musicians until at least the 1940s. Chicago's skyline didn't have close to that many skyscrapers in 1925. Totally unclear where Clooney gets his money to back the Bulldogs and pay out for tons of stuff before gate receipts came in. The railroad tracks would not have been illuminated by streetlights. All those soldiers in the unit would have been discharged after WW1 -- the army was very small in the 1920s. And the idea that Zellweger "called" all those privates is absurd. Phones were very rare in the working class (privates) back then. Congress would not have appointed a football commissioner. And these people playing without chinguards never seem to have any bruises on their face and they all have all their teeth. The Tribune never would have printed Duluth's 3-0 record as their lead story. Pro football barely made the sports pages back then. No inaccuracies? are you kidding? It was full of inaccuracies.
