Philadelphia Daily News staff writer Stan Hochman details and reviews "The Curse of William Penn" as part of the publications two-day series WINTER OF OUR DISCONTENT.Two elements add luster to the film. One is the impersonations by Joe Conklin. The other is the dazzling animation, the artistry of Mari Jaye Blanchard. Croce cackles and says, "You guys are crazy." Dick Jerardi says bluntly, "Our teams weren't good enough."

It would be a tremendous outpouring of emotion from so many gut wrenching incidents and the purging of so many years of heartbreak. It would give Philly what it needs most - a boost of pride as Philuvians gather to celebrate for the first time in a generation and once again say "New York you can take this championship and stick it!"
