Providence coach Alex Nahigian likes to play basic baseball: hit-and-run, sacrifice, execute the fundamentals. But this year Providence has hitting too. Over the season the Friars have tattooed the ball at a .312 clip as a team and boast seven hitters--the two to eight men in the batting order--hitting over...
...film's funniest portions belong neither to Astaire nor Kelly nor to any of the meticulously choreographed clown scenes of the '50s. In clip after clip, they are outdone by unintentional comedy.

Another, even darker variant of this theory is that Patty was enslaved by addicting her to heroin, though the S.L.A. abjured any use of hard drugs in its "code...
