Vera Miles, who gave memorable performances in PSYCHO and BACK STREET, is very appealing in this simple love story set against the background of the annual Rose Bowl football game. A youthful Natalie Wood plays her kid sister, with the rest of the cast filled out by some rather mature-looking college guys.
The movie's plot is hardly worth mentioning, but what makes THE ROSE BOWL STORY watchable is its charming portrait of 1950's America. The opening narration (uncredited, but the voice sounds like Richard Carlson) sets the tone of the picture: this is the good old USA, land of solid citizens and proud of old-fashioned traditions
In short, if you like vintage TV shows such as "Father Knows Best", you'll probably enjoy this movie.
