Documentary Film: Harvard Beats Yale 29-29
7:00pm. Mr. Peter McGowan, Yale graduate and Framingham resident who attended the Harvard vs. Yale football game, will introduce this documentary. Kevin Rafferty’s (The Atomic Cafe) acclaimed documentary depicts a legendary game at Harvard Stadium on November 23, 1968. Footage from the title game is interwoven with reflections by the players. The players include Oscar winner Tommy Lee Jones for Harvard and Brian Dowling, the Yale quarterback who was the model for Doonesbury’s BD. Alternately suspenseful and poignant, this telling of the sixties clash between Harvard’s working-class team and Yale’s upper-class players is about more than a football game and the climax is magical. Refreshments.Framingham Public Library, Costin Room, 49 Lexington Street.
