...first time that the band had beaten the Bruins in four years. The Bruins are a skating band who pride themselves in the fact that they perform their shows on the ice between the period of the varsity hockey team's games...
...musketeers-Oliver Reed, Richard Chamberlain, Frank Finlay and Michael York as D'Artagnan-all perform admirably. When the casting threatens to become too capricious (Raquel Welch as the Queen's confidante, Faye Dunaway as the archvillainess, Charlton Heston as Richelieu), Lester exploits the absurdity.

That causes the disc to shrink back into place, thus easing the pressure on the surrounding nerves...

They'll know that they are being watched, scrutinized, and they'll be very careful to try to avoid prejudice, one way or the other...
