“Crazylegs” tells the story of Elroy “Crazylegs” Hirsch, played by Hirsch himself, picking up from his high school days, into the Universities of Wisconsin and Michigan, service in the Marines, followed by what was thought to be a career-ending fractured skull while playing for the Chicago Rockets. Defying the odds, he went on to play for the Los Angeles Rams, becoming one of the acknowledged great athletes of his day. The many football sequences are skillfully edited from the actual college, All-Star and Rams home games.
