...John Sturges, The Eagle Has Landed (1976). In WWII's final days, Michael Caine spearheads a Nazi plot to take Winston Churchill back to Berlin ? dead or alive. Chock-full cast, from Duvall to Donald Sutherland, Donald Pleasance (with some hair) to Anthony Quayle (miscast) and on the American side, Treat Williams and Larry Hagman...
...coach, you want your exhibition game to be chock full of new and different scenarios. Saturday night, in front of a hearty Bright Hockey Center crowd, Harvard Coach Ronn Tomassoni saw everything he could have dreamed of...and more...
...rest of the principal cast is chock-full of top-notch comic actors who unfortunately aren't given enough room to expand beyond the realm of the obvious. Cusack's fans will likely enjoy her turn as the ugly-duckling fiancee badly in need of a self-esteem booster (which of course she gets, this being movie comedy land).

Amblad and O'Toole, as Petruchio/the Lord-ette and Hortensio/the first Hunter-ette, respectively, show great versatility as actors in their shift from effeminate pranksters to clever, sophisticated noblemen. Jesse Hawkes's cane-waving, unexpectedly spry Gremio stands out as one of the show's best comic touches, as do the hilarious antics of Grumio (Doug Miller) and Biondello (Andrew Mandel '00, a Crimson editor).

...Clyde's invitation, an uncertain Gussie, now 84, visits Spur and shortly agrees to become his temporary "live-in." In Clyde's parlor the two sit in chock-a-block lounging chairs, holding hands, assuring each other without much conviction that they are too old to remarry. Clyde regales Gussie with Texas tall talk ("One day the wind stopped blowing, and all the chickens fell over") and old-timey family stories. He introduces Gussie to the folks at the Dairy Queen. They kiss, they hug. In New York, Aaron frets that his vulnerable father will wither when Gussie leaves...
