JIM THORPE -- ALL-AMERICAN (1951): Quit Complaining (Full Clip) - Classic 1950s Movie

Burt Lancaster was chosen for the role because he looked somewhat Native American and had an athletic past. Yet through it all, he did a decent job of portraying the great man.

My Uncle,Elmer Bush Played Football with J.Thorpe At Carlisle. My uncle is from Clear Lake CA. Pomo, I Have pictures Of Both Of Them On my Wall.

This should’ve been a remake movie by now somebody’s missing the mark on this 😮

I loved this movie and what an honor to have represent it Jim Thorpe on the big screen!

What no one ever tells us is that Thorpes grandfather was chief Blackhawk of the Sauk Tribe

Just watch future Jim Thorpe film called Bright Path for the real full story

Thrope's story deserved to be told.

Great movie, just a damn shame that at the time they wouldn't cast someone who was really native american as the star.

Alone in the stadium...one of the saddest scenes I have ever seen.he had such a gift and so much heart.ant the beauticians stole it.

I love this movie, especially the ending:
JIM THORPE ALL AMERICAN!
