...should be done, specific deferment of students is abolished, or comparable postponement is made equally available to all young men, the number of men eligible will exceed the number needed by the military services. The means of determining who serves and who does not serve, within this eligible group, must be fair and non-discriminatory and must appear fair and non-discriminatory both to those who are selected and those who are not.

For those who know, and presumably love, Joyce's novel (our century's greatest long poem to date), it will be enough to say that the film is worthy of its source. Admission prices, unfortunately, exceed the cost of the book, but those who can afford them should pay them...
