...stood to reason that a 195-lb. amateur wrestler would have little chance against a 280-lb. bruiser with twelve years in the pro wrestling game. But that was not how the script read when Dr. Sam Sheppard made his debut against Wild Bill Scholl in a charity match in Waverly, Ohio. Seven minutes into the match Dr. Sam coolly jammed two fingers into Wild Bill's mouth and expertly pressed the mandibular nerve, which lies in the tender area under the tongue. Scholl instantly went limp with agony. Fall and match to Sheppard. "Only new thing...
...Bulwark. All that speed leads Notre Dame's Coach Ara Parseghian to call U.S.C. "undoubtedly the fastest college team I have ever seen." And certainly one of the most complete.

Enraged by the hook, makos have been known to yank luckless fishermen overboard or jump straight into a boat, tear the place apart, then leap back into the water to fight for another two hours. Their killer instinct lingers even after death...
...LUCK OF GINGER COFFEY. All the horror, humor and humanity of Brian Moore's novel are captured in this fine, sensitive film about a big Irish bruiser whose wife alone knows that he is really just a middle-aged child. Played to perfection by Robert Shaw and Mary...
