Doyle is a low-key athlete. He has no admiration for high-powered athlete programs of high-powered athletes. He was not recruited, and he went out for football because "it seemed like a good thing to do at the time," Unlike some Harvard athletes who resent the fairly de-emphasized approach to athletics that Harvard takes, Doyle appreciates Harvard's attitude...
...counterthrusts are characteristic: Askew is an ultra liberal and a "Goody Two-shoes powder puff." The race is considered close, win a third.

The best of The People Next Door is the brilliant, low-key camera work of Gordon Willis, whose fine eye for color and composition enlivened other moribund exercises, like End of the Road and The Landlord. Perhaps Willis, instead of investing such care in this project, might better have shut off all the lights on the set and left The People...
