Harvard Beats Yale 29-29

sports stories

Harvard Stadium, November 23, 1968: for the first time since 1909, the football teams of Harvard and Yale are 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 CAFÉ) 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. [2008, USA, 105 min.]

"Preposterously entertaining… A narrative that pulses with the artful, exciting beats of a thriller.” –Manohla Dargis, The New York Times

“Close to perfect! Remarkably compelling!” – David Fear, Time Out New York
