Dietzel v. Vaught. But from the start, young Perry Lee seemed to listen most respectfully to two top men of the tough Southeastern Conference: Louisiana State's blond, boyish Paul Dietzel, coach of last season's national champions, and Mississippi's canny, reticent Johnny Vaught, coach of this season's second-ranking team. Each man had an ally in Natchez. Boosting Dietzel and L.S.U. was Orthopedic Surgeon Jack Phillips, an L.S.U. alumnus (and former football manager), who took Perry Lee to L.S.U. games, assiduously cultivated the elder Dunns, once even helped Mrs. Dunn take...

...only in the quiet, anxious scenes of awakening love that Director-Co-Writer Philip Dunne manages to capture the pains and confusion of adolescence and the awful homemade isolation of children from their parents. He is fortunate to have as the children plaintive, pony-tailed Carol Lynley, 17. and blond, handsome 17-year-old Brandon de Wilde, who has acquired longer legs and a deeper voice since he played the small boy in Shane.
