A bit more information on this underrated (and rather obscure) film which I guarantee (betting my NASA Level II Manager's leader's paycheck (not my own), hehe, it will have you die laughing in spots.


One & Only (1977): Taking a brief break from his greaser tough-guy roles (Happy Days, Lords of Flatbush), Henry Winkler plays a aspiring actor fresh out of college looking for his big break:


thru 1950s era studio wrestling.

From IMDB: :1951: 'Andy Schmidt is in his last year of college. Taking life easy and always a saucy joke on his lips, he manages to win fellow student Mary's heart, although she's already otherwise engaged. But getting a job after college turns out much harder than he expected. Most directors take offense at his free interpretation of his roles. Desperate, he tries in wrestling. To avoid getting beaten up he stages the fights - and incidentally invents show-wrestling."

I got the DVD from big lots a few years back for $3. I remember seeing it in a very old movie review book I had from the 80s. Also, I remember seeing this on the marque in a scene in some other film. Can't remember which one. I've only seen it once and remember it starting strong then maybe running out of gas (or maybe I did). Maybe something like Tough Enough (Dennis Quaid) is similar only better. $30 is entirely too much I think. I hope others like it though. A blu ray of Night Shift would be great though. And Heroes, with Carry on Wayward Son put back in.

I'm quite sure the price will drop before Oct 27th. Some other recently announced titles which started out on Amazon at $29.95 have dropped to $15.99 so far with a month & a half to go before release.


I had no idea this got a DVD release. Curious was it anamorphic or non-anamorphic? And how was the picture quality?

Next time I come across the DVD while looking for other stuff I'll take a look again. It was a year or so ago.


Def best to wait.
