Wiki.
Jim Thorpe – All-American (UK title: Man of Bronze) is a 1951 American biographical film directed by Michael Curtiz and starring Burt Lancaster as Jim Thorpe, the great Native American athlete who won medals at the 1912 Olympics and distinguished himself in various sports, both in college and on professional teams.
The film features some archival footage of both the 1912 and 1932 Summer Olympics, as well as other footage of the real Thorpe (seen in long shots). Charles Bickford plays the famed coach Glenn Scobey "Pop" Warner, who was Thorpe's longtime mentor. Bickford also narrates the film, which told of Thorpe's athletic rise and fall, ending on an upbeat note when he was asked by a group of boys to coach them. Phyllis Thaxter portrays Thorpe's first wife. The film's production company Warner Bros. used a number of contract players in the film, as well as a few Native American actors.
