...with all great rivalries, more legends surround The Game than Evelyn Wood could read in a lifetime. Last year's contest will enter the history book for two reasons. Harvard's 45-7 romp set a school record for points scored against Yale. And a Massachusetts Institute of Technology fraternity prank--in which a hydraulically-powered-balloon bearing the Tech's initials popped out of turf in the middle of the game--set an MIT record for most points scored against Harvard. This year's classic will be special as the 100th playing of The Game...
...climax of the Revolution, a pivotal moment in the story of Europe. The film, though, misses weighty historical drama by a good deal. Relegating the central political figures of the Revolution to the periphery of his film, Scola focuses on a lively troupe of contemporary notables, who talk and romp their way across the French countryside from Paris to Varennes in a characteristically French blend of the serious and the comic...

Modeled after a Lewis Carroll poem. Jabberwocky deteriorated into nerve-deadening blood and gore. A romp through time and space with a seven-year-old (Time Bandits) fell into the saddest trap of all--it was cute. And a couple of truly limp filmings of live shows made even the most adoring followers doubt any future theme movie could recapture that early perfect match between spooter and spoofee...
...hunk, chiefly responsible for the return to glamour is Tom Selleck, the 6-ft. 4-in., 200-lb. star of CBS's Magnum, P. I., which premiered in 1980. A genial shoot-'em-up, Magnum is set in Hawaii, a location that allows Selleck, 38, to romp on the beach and show off his grizzly-bear chest to the camera with once-a-week regularity. No. 2 in the latest Nielsen ratings, the show has apparently propelled Selleck to movie stardom as well. His first feature film, High Road to China, displaced Tootsie as the box-office leader...
