REVIEWS

Review by anonymous (posted on 8-May-2006)

The film does a good job describing life as a student at Harvard in the early '70's. Most notable is the absence of female students. While a few are seen, not one of them says a word. The class is large...60 or 70 students, but the professor never calls on any of them. Of course they can always volunteer to say something. College is still that way...If you raise your hand and ask some penetrating questions, your grade will relect it. It was as if the female students knew their place. John Hausmen is outstanding...he always is. No other living actor could have done any better. I give it 3 stars. I'd see it again. Paul K.
