Father was a Fullback is a 1949 black and white Twentieth Century Fox film based on a comedy by Clifford Goldsmith. The film is about a college American football coach and his woes. The film stars Fred MacMurray, Maureen O'Hara, Natalie Wood, and Betty Lynn.
State College football coach George Cooper (Fred MacMurray) has more than enough problems on the job without his teenage daughter Connie (Betty Lynn) complicating his life at home. Connie is convinced she's unattractive to the opposite sex and wallows in self pity. Resigning herself to a loveless existence, Connie decides to make literature her life. When a fictional article she pens about a teenage bubble dancer appears in a confessions magazine, the boys come calling. The young authoress dates a high school football star from across town who chooses to attend State College (rather than Notre Dame) to be near his new found sweetheart. George's gridiron and domestic problems are solved.
