CGiii Comment

Boys school with the obligatory vile head teacher.

Anti-semitism, foul youths, the privileged, the scholarship, the sexually confused and the suicidal – they are all here in this run of the mill, nothing new, diatribe with polished pretty, pretty boys.

The message in this film is foul – God bless America and all those who sank or who are sinking.

Despicable film-making.

The(ir) Blurb...

David Greene is brought into a prestigious 1950s school to help their football team to beat the school's old rivals. David, however, is from a working class background, so he isn't really "one of them", but he's very successful at making friends. David is a Jew, and has to keep this a secret from his friends for fear of being rejected.
