Marvin's performance is the best in a film full of good actors. He may be playing the hardened sergeant for the umpteenth time but his heart is finally in it. With his rumbling voice, he tosses off dialogue that a lesser actor would choke on. The paternal affection he bears his men never conflicts with his silent passion for killing the enemy and getting through the war alive.

...Lynah Hall masses stuck to minnows for this year's between-periods floor show (although they did perform the fabled tie-the-chicken-to-the-goalpost routine for the umpteenth year), and the Big Red stuck to its potent passing offense in the third. Tobin notched a final goal at 7:13 and Cornell coasted the rest of the way to the tune of "Goodbye Harvard, we hate to see you go," as sung by the Ithaca Section 19 choir...
