Just when the tide looked as though it might turn, St. John returned to lead a final Harvard scoring drive that ate up 282 precious ticks of the clock...
...Ciro, all potentially bland stereotypes, are well-cast and well-acted. Moocher, short but solid, is one of those kids who's never really going to go anywhere, but he has one of the film's great moments--when an employer tells him, "Be sure and punch the time clock, Shorty," he does, literally, and with style.

On PBS, which has mimicked the rigid schedules of the commercial networks, content must conform to the clock. As a result, twelve minutes were chopped from the BBC's version of Kean. Most of the loss has been in those offhand moments that give the play texture, but a couple of key scenes have also been dropped, making the first hour unnecessarily difficult.
