Goofs
During the car crash sequence, a sheet of glass is broken in front of the camera (or possibly in post), as shot from inside the car, but the cracks in the glass extend into the headliner of said car.

Quotes
Dr. Stephen Brice: Colin, you amaze me. How important can it be to protect the reputation of a gang of delinquents?
Colin Mayberry: Stephen, apparently you have no conception of how many people are affected by a scandal in a college. There are 3,000 students here, Stephen. Each of them has parents who withdraw their children from school at a moment's notice. Then there is the alumni association who freeze their checkbooks at the first hint of something wrong.
Dr. Stephen Brice: So it all boils down to money, doesn't it? Always money.
Colin Mayberry: Well, don't sneer at it. How do you think we got our new buildings? Who do you think gave the money to build this new medical school you are interested in heading? Do you think we won it at a lottery?

The 'Professor' is a certified sadist!

"For Men Only" is a film designed to expose the excesses and cruelties of fraternity hazings. It's apparently based on a real incident where a fraternity informed its pledges they needed to kill a dog to join! A nice group of 'kids', huh?!

Tod is trying to join a fraternity at Wake College. However, the leader of the fraternity rush program, Ky Walker (Russell Johnson...the Professor from "Gilligan's Island"), is a read sadist and has made it his job to break Tod...though so far, Tod has accepted Ky's torments without complaint. However, on initiation night, Ky tells Tod to murder a puppy...and Tod naturally refuses and goes to the faculty about this. But the police and faculty mostly ignore the accusation...particularly when the frat brothers uniformly lie about the puppy killing. What's next for Tod? Well, it only gets worse...yes worse than just a dead puppy! And, it also gets pretty bad for a professor who tries to stand up against this evil fraternity system.

This is an interesting film because one of the only faculty members who believes Beanie is played by Paul Henreid...who also directed and produced the film. He's excellent in all these roles and the movie is exceptional considering it's a cast of mostly unknowns aside from Henreid (Johnson was in his first film...so he, too, was an unknown at the time).

So is it worth seeing? Of course. It makes a strong statement economically and is never dull nor schmaltzy.
