Harmon of Michigan is a 1941 American film starring Anita Louise and Larry Parks. Ostensibly a biopic about University of Michigan football player Tom Harmon's post-collegiate career as a coach, it was actually filmed immediately upon his graduation and is thus entirely fictional. Harmon, who was an all-American and Heisman Trophy winner at Michigan, plays himself in the film.
