Late in 1999, this film finally became available in the US. If you are a soccer fan (or a fanatic of any sport), you will relate to this movie. This is an autobiographical book by Nick Hornby, a long-time Arsenal fan, who also did the screenplay. Incidently, the book is considered one of the best soccer books ever written. For those who liked High Fidelity, a book also written by Nick Hornby, and reset in Chicago, they will enjoy the romance of Fever Pitch, the movie. Colin Firth from Shakespeare in Love is excellent.

Fraternity Row
(1977)
Excellent Example of USC Student Film making
22 June 2000
As I recall, this was a University of Southern California thesis project for Gary Allison, the writer and producer of the film. After the film was completed, it was sold to Paramount. Everyone of the student actors and technicians were offered union membership. Especially, for the technical people, this became their entry into Hollywood.
For whatever reason, it has never been available on tape or dvd. Watch for it, as it may be a little dated, but it is still very enjoyable.
