Double Dribble(1946)

I've only ever seen one pro basketball game and this pretty much summed it up. An inordinate load of hype, a cheering crowd stoked on sugar, caffeine, alcohol or more and a game that was almost incidental until the last few minutes when, of course, it was still evenly balanced and set for a cliffhanging ending. This time it's goofy who plays just about every role from the lone visiting fan to the despondent coach, the player always left on the sidelines to the gangly player taller then the hoop. Just like the game itself, I didn't really love this. It's quickly enough paced but overly repetitive and the joke is brought home just once too often.
