The Hungarian-born Pal, who came to the U.S. in 1939, had already made a name as a cinema cartoonist, but soon turned to full-length features; his first science-fiction film, Destination Moon (1950), anticipated procedures and equipment used in the 1969 lunar landing and brought him an Oscar, followed by others for The War of the Worlds and The Time Machine. He was pleased by the sci-fi revival sparked by Star Wars...
...tribute was imaginative and moving, and was a fair precis of the achievements of Chase and Smith at A.B.T. The company has kept alive the full-length classics, like Swan Lake, Giselle, The Sleeping Beauty.

Her full-length dresses seem like veils, of which the seventh is soon to drop. She goes to the library, attracting boys who would never open a book. "Beware of early fire," warns her mother. Fire is kindled when she meets a "romantically handsome youth" (Arnie Burton), who seems virginal beyond belief. Gloria talks to him of love in a tenderly erotic scene and does a dance of sexual awakening...
Keller-Sarmiento actually created Harvard's first near miss. A short time into the half he pivoted near the right side of the penalty area, releasing a deceptively hard shot that only a full-length Tabak save could keep away from the back...
