For Men Only

Paul Henreid made this disappointing expose movie about fraternity hazing on a college campus, way too tame for its "explosive" subject matter. Happy ending belies the fact that seven decades later the abhorrent practice still occurs.

New faces in the cast include Vera Miles as an innocent heroine and Kathleen Hughes as a sort of junior varsity femme fatale. She is posed sexily in the advertising and marketing of the movie, strictly phony since her role on screen is relatively tame.

As a preachy hero, Henreid is too good to be true, and the severity of the hazing is not graphic enough to qualify for the trashy content one expects for exploitation cinema. A far better, more serious treatment came decades later in "Fraternity Row".
