Hollywood Halfbacks

Hollywood Halfbacks (1931) is a comedy film directed by Charles Lamont rated 9.0/10.

Johnny Harron is watching the Hollywood fire department football team playing a game and decides that he can round up some Hollywood actors that could beat the firemen. Since Johnny Mack Brown is about the only person in the film that even looks like he could play football other than Johnny and stuntman Joe Bonomo, it’s doubtful that the team Harron put together could even beat the Our Gang football team! So, Betty Compson, anxious to see her Hollywood friends win the game, keeps phoning false alarms to the fire department. A Hollywood Thalians Club short.
