...FLIGHT OF THE PHOENIX. Survival seems more urgent and exciting than usual when James Stewart, Richard Attenborough and a cynical crew crawl out of a plane crash in the Sahara and try to patch up their differences long enough to jerry-build a one-engined getaway plane from the wreckage...
...this is the myth. The reality is an assorted conglomeration of students, no one group really predominating. Its sports are taken seriously by some while ignored by others--although the House crew has traditionally dominated intramural competition and even returned from Henley with honors...

Gielgud jars the audience, giving them perhaps two seconds to take in the entire scene...
