It's been so long sines we saw a typical college film, with its last reel football game, and the hero's team "doggedly hanging on" and the hero dashing in with only two minutes to play, that "The Drop Kick" is enjoyable almost for its nostalgia alone. As in most such films, the students seem rather curiously middle-aged, and there are no outward signs of activities other
than football and proms. But "The Drop Kick" departs from formula a Little with its more-serious-than-usual sub-plot of a suicide and a scheming campus widow. Without bringing forth too many surprises, it is nicely done, and is inhabited by people who can do this sort of thing blind-folded - Barthelmess in his element as the misunderstood college hero, Barbara Kent
a lovely sweetheart, Hedda Hopper - "not only a mother, but a pal" – reminding us what a pleasant and likeable personality she used to be before she became the McCarthy of the gossip columnists, Brooks Benedict and all the others - right down to western star Bill Elliott, here playing an early bit as the fellow who dances with Barbara Kent at the prom.
Strangely, "The Drop Kick" appears never to have been copyrighted, and is often erroneously credited to Alfred Santell, who directed other (and better) Barthelmess films. Actually the director was Millard Webb ("The Sea Beast"), never a very good director, but here making a film that was somewhat above his usual average.
