...train on the screen, afraid it would run them over. Both the film-makers and the main characters were adventures--creating special effects on an unprecedented scale--and part of the film's charm lies in the breathless sense of discovery that infuses every shot, heightened with each passing reel. It's something Dino De Laurentiis' repulsive, self-conscious, exploitive remake never touches.

In time, "Vorster" might reel off the tongue provoking as little thought of genocide as, say, "Custer...
After a less than awesome 0-4-1 start, the squad upset Dartmouth, 5-3, in Hanover on January 10, and went on to reel off six victories in eight contests. Most team members agree that there has been no sudden or spectacular improvement, just a slow, steady upswing as the lines got used to playing together, and basic hockey knowledge and experience...
