...contrast. Harvard took only eight shots in the entire game. The Crimson has been held scoreless now for three hours and 23 minutes of play. Munro shook up the front line and put Frank Davies at center forward in an effort to find a scoring punch, but the Crimson took fewer shots than ever against a good defense. Springfield left halfback Charlie Butt completely bottled up the right side of the Harvard forward line, which is usually the strongest. Berk Johnson came closest to scoring in the final overtime, but the goalie tackled him before he could shoot...
There is a sharp contrast of personalities in the film. Clift plays an insecure but ambitious young man who goes to work in a factory owned by a distant relative; while he is there he meets two girls.

The script, by Producer-Writer Nunnally Johnson, has the competence of journalistic history, but most of the excitement is packed into the picture's opening moments, during an ill-fated British Commando raid on Rommel's North African headquarters...
...contrast, Williams did not keep the ball so constantly in the Harvard zone, but when the Purple came down, led by center forward Dorie Friend, it put on the pressure. Williams took 18 shots at Dick Craven, who was magnificent in the goal, and would have taken more had not fullback Charlie Ufford played so well...
