...dangerous cross from the right flank forced the Harvard defense to retreat towards its own goal. Thus with the defense on its heels and Dupuis pulled out of position, Columbia's Khouri Mullings ripped a bullet at the Harvard net.

And Gena Rowlands is simply great in a scene where she breaks the silence of the years in a richly emotional encounter with her husband. "Her performance," says Shickel...
