Moonspinner off base, 14 April 2008
10/10
Author: vranger from United States

Moonspinner should actually have some knowledge of a film or its time before commenting on it.

His criticism of the Phys Ed scene is off base. When I went to college, 15 years AFTER this film, 3 semesters of Phys Ed was still required, during which you had to do such things as run a 6 minute mile. Some say ignorance is bliss, but actually ignorance is just ignorance, spinner.

This is a wonderful film that stands up well. Things such as fall bonfires were and still are common campus traditions. Fraternity pledging pranks ... still around. Dormitories ... still around. Hamburger/Barbecue restaurants ... still around. LOL

Sit back and enjoy this very entertaining and relaxing film.
