...theoretically flashbacks told by men whose experience has been filtered through the traps of time and been idealized in the nostalgic mind. On a large scale, however, Ford does not recreate the past through memory, but creates the memories themselves. The Sun Shines Bright and My Darling Clementine (1946) reveal the basic truth of all the films--that of a great artist giving us a tradition and a past that we can assimilate and make...
Final Crimson statistics reveal that Varney led the Harvard attacks in five different hitting categories. With 29 hits including two home runs, Varney finished at .377, Harvard's highest season batting average since 1955. He also scored 18 times while driving in 17 more tallies...

The more extreme of these deeds are supported by a host of lesser strange touches, partly in Ulmer's visual style and partly in the fine acting. These touches make the film the masterpiece it is. They constantly reveal the personalities of the characters--especially the two leads, whose traits and drives take in all mutations of moral position and psychological experience. Karloff initially seems perverse and decadent; Lugosi, virtuous. But Lugosi's night-marish past experience and present insecurity drive him to acts of dreadful savagery even...
