“The filmmaker Kevin Rafferty (THE ATOMIC CAFÉ) makes the case for remembrance and for the art of the story in his preposterously entertaining documentary about the famous Harvard-Yale football game of 1968, immortalized in the Harvard Crimson’s headline the next day, from which the film gets its title. Rafferty intercuts the original television broadcast of the game with lively interviews with many of the game’s participants, including Tommy Lee Jones and Yale’s quarterback Brian Dowling, who provided the model for Doonesbury’s ‘B.D.’ The game’s action connects with the personal and public passions of the day, from politics to the sexual revolution. The result is a fascinating feat of cultural anthropology.” (The New Yorker) 105 minutes. Sponsored by Onion River Sports.
