...Blackman can work some magic with his secondary and offensive line--and he has always had a reputation for pulling off the unexpected--Cornell could threaten for all the marbles. Right now, however, the Big Red look a little thin to maintain consistency over the grueling ten-game slate, which includes formidable Rutgers as an adversary.

The school is a microcosm of colonial society: the rich Anglified girls lording it over a poor Aussie with a quick wit. Laura doesn't fit: she is too thin and gawky, too smart and eager. In an attempt to see Laura's world through her eyes, Director Beresford turns the other girls into vaudeville minxes and betrays a weakness for the ingratiating visual cliché.
