Such men are the stuff of legends, and since his death in 1935 the legend of Lawrence has inspired scores of books. Now for the first time it has inspired a film, and quite a film it is.

For five years Lombardi ran the cadets' fast-striking offense-and by West Point standards, most of them were lean years. Army's great All-Americas, Glenn Davis and Doc Blanchard, graduated in 1947, and 37 players were expelled when a cribbing scandal rocked the campus in 1951.
