...should I write of the Yale game? Does it have to be recalled to your mind how afraid all were that Harvard would not win. A better team, perhaps, but they never seem to be able to beat Yale! And how after the kick-off we exchanged kicks with Yale for awhile and then how they fumbled and Storer recovered the ball for a touchdown?

Taking off from that point, Fabulist Guitry weaves "a veritable fairy tale, the most imaginative passages of which will seem real-perhaps." In the ensuing series of pseudohistorical blackouts, some are naively satirical, others playfully sexy, others plain stodgy. But each is braced up with a neat jigger of the Guitry imp, combines to form a razzle-dazzle of fact & fancy that any cinemagoer should enjoy if he can curb...
