Harvard Stadium, November 23, 1968: for the first time since 1909, the football teams of Harvard and Yale are both undefeated as they meet for their final game. Yale is heavily favored, with Brian Dowling, its captain and quarterback, satirized in classmate Garry Trudeau's Doonesbury strip. Harvard's lineman is Tommy Lee Jones - Al Gore's roommate. Kevin Rafferty (Atomic Cafe) intercuts original footage with the hilarious, suspenseful recollections of the 50 men who played in what has become one of college football's most famous games. - Notes from the Film Forum, NYC
