Phillipe Sarde's gushy score highlights Polanski's excessive Romanticism. When lovers passionately embrace or horses gallop into the distance, the music swells dramatically, reminding that this is a stirring moment.

When halfbacks Tom Beatrice and Paul Connors and fullback Jim Callinan gallop for more than 200 yards a game, the credit lies equally with their skill and with the effectiveness of the offensive front...
