Robert Young had to be the busiest leading man in Hollywood in 1934. He appeared in no fewer than nine pictures, four of them at his home studio of MGM. The Band Plays On features Young as one of four close pals, who have grown up together and are now college football champs known as "The Four Bombers". So inseparable are these chums that, when one is injured in a car accident, the remaining three quit the team. (imdb)

PUNQ

Rated 03 Feb 2015

A group of kids get into trouble and are placed under care of Football coach Preston Foster where they grow up and learn to be men. An okay drama, but it's lacking something to become the tearjerker it was supposed to be. Stuart Erwin puts on a fine performance, Robert Young as the main guy struggled to make his character mean as much as it should have, and the comedy of Ted Healy & Leo Carrillo was something almost irrelevant and felt like something they'd just pushed in there.
