An Oddity
Hollywood had many sad stories, but here is a swift, engaging yarn, starring four attractive, capable actors, who all died at a rather young age, with the two men playing professional athletes: Dick Purcell (38), Wayne Morris (45), Anne Nagel (50), and, as the paradigmatic pretty and dizzy blonde, Marie Wilson (56). It seems that people who entertain others should have a happier fate. The story is not much, but it involves friendship and forgiveness and the proud, self-reliance of the main character. Movies about boxing, baseball, football, running, horse-racing, and track and field are more common, but despite "Slap Shot" (1977), hockey is a rarity.
