The Iron Major is a 1943 American biographical film about the famed college football coach and World War I hero, Frank Cavanaugh, released as a Hollywood propaganda film during World War II. Directed by Ray Enright, the screenplay was written by Aben Kandel and Warren Duff, based on his wfie Florence E. Cavanaugh's recollections. Produced and directed by RKO Radio Pictures, the film premiered in Boston on October 25, 1943. Florence Cavanaugh and a priest, Tim Donovan, recall how in the 1890s, her husband Frank was playing college football for Dartmouth and then moved west to become a coach. "Cav" is introduced to Florence and eventually moves back east where he coaches at Holy Cross, where the football team's players include Tim. Although he is father to seven children, Cav enlists in the war effort. A major, he is involved in heavy combat and seriously wounded, but recovers, gaining his nickname in the process. He ultimately returns home to continue coaching at Boston College, but an illness causes Cav to go blind, then ultimately claims his life.
