this be apparently the second remake of this film and have be film before in 1911 and 1918. and and in so many way it remind me of the late film and a yank at oxford . both film concern a conceited blow hard who arrive at one of the top school in the world and both and ultimately and show the blow hard slowly learn about teamwork and decency . in this film and william haines be tom brown and his main rival and bob be play by france x. bushman . and and in a supporting role be jack pickford always remember a the brother of mary . of these three and pickford come off the best and a the sympathetic loser who become tom pal he actually have a few decent scene as well a a dramatic moment just before the big game . all the standard clichés be there and the movie and because it be do so many time before and since and offer few surprise . however and it be pleasant film and be enjoyable view . in my opinion and for a good silent college film and try harold lloyd the freshman it football scene be frankly more exciting and harold be far more likable and sympathetic than the annoy tom brown . the freshman be probably the best college picture you can find from the era . another reason why brown at harvard be a less picture be that william haines play essentially the same unlikable and bombastic character with the same plot again and again and again ( such a in westpoint and the smart set and among others ) and if you have see one of these film and you have see them all . well make and but certainly not original . and and because it be just a rehash of his other film and anyone give the film a score of 10 be strongly advise to see these other film . 4/25/08 equal equal i just check and saw this this small film be the high rat film on imdb from the 1920. talk about over rat . there be dozen and dozen of good film how this film get to be # 1 be anyone guess .
