My thoughts
Mr Denisof is in the movie from early on, and although is only a background character, he does have a role to play until the end of the movie, and a few lines aswell. His character is an American.

I found this movie to be an interesting insight into what goes on behind the scenes for the annual Boat Race. It's a nice sporting movie, that's about determination and the will to win, and is not too macho, or violent in any way. Some 'strongish' language, but nothing to shock.

One last bit of trivia.... Jonathon Cake, who plays Patrick Conner in this movie, is seen again working alongside Alexis in 'First Knight' and 'Noah's Ark'...[Lizzie]
