In the baronial study, the girl, her lover (John Lund), the cop (William Demarest) and a few businessmen all wait for the witching hour. Then [SPOILER] a mysterious figure moves the minute hand on the grandfather clock ahead, and when that clock chimes 11 the girl...
When this proposal comes before the assembled House Masters and Dean of the College Benedict H. Gross ’71, they should swiftly approve it. With so many reasons to keep partying until 2 a.m. and such a lack of logic behind the current cutoff, there’s no justification not to make the change. Party...
