Not as bad as it's rating suggests

While this movie isn't a classic by any stretch, it is very entertaining as I remember it. I saw it about 15 years ago on HBO and loved the movie. It was written by the same guy that wrote and directed "Arthur" and though it isn't as funny as that movie, it does show the potential that Steve Gordon reached with "Arthur".

Love thyself .................

"The One and Only" is a movie that most likely had a difficult time finding an audience. It really is more a "chick flick" than a wrestling film. The first third relies on a lot of slapstick, but once Henry Winkler enters the ring, the frantic pace settles down somewhat. Quite a few character actors contribute, including Mary Woronov as a bar trollop, Henry Villechaize as a midget wrestler, and Gene Saks as a manager. The theme song "The One and Only" is quite good, as is the trip down wrestling's memory lane. Most of the laughs come from Winkler's enormous ego, and interactions with Kim Darby's Mother and Father (Mom and Tom). - MERK

What was I thinking??

When this film hit the theaters in 1978, I saw it three times. But when I watched it again recently on video (a video that I BOUGHT), I couldn't believe that I at one time LIKED this movie. Winkler plays a totally unlikable character who never gets any better. Darby plays a dopey girl who, for reasons not addressed in this movie, falls for the obnoxious egocentric jerk.

I chuckled maybe twice during the whole movie. The rest of the time I was wondering how anyone could fall in love with someone who cares about no one on earth except themselves and how Carl Reiner got mixed up in this mess.

I was embarrassed to admit to my wife that in the late 70's I actually paid to sit through this tripe... three times! Foolish youth.

I'm gonna go with classic

Well I guess it supposedly not a classic because there are only a few easily recognizable faces, but I personally think it is... It's a very beautiful sweet movie, Henry Winkler did a GREAT job with his character and it really impressed me.

Finally a Winkler movie comes along thats better than Nightshift

Ah gees...well so many fantastic words you could use to describe The One & Only. Words such as.....er....um...ah..well atleast it's better than Nightshift. Look out for a surprise appearance from none other than Tom Bosley - as the bad guy wrestler Mr.C

Trivia
Actor Henry Winkler sports peroxided blond hair in this movie. The name of the blond-haired ballet-costume-wearing wrestling character with a harem of girls that Andy Schmidt (Henry Winkler) creates is "The Lover" or "The Great Lover', and he is "The One And Only" of the film's title. The character and film's story was based on glamour wrestler Gorgeous George (real name George Raymond Wagner) and his career. This picture was made and released about 15 years after Gorgeous George had passed away. Winkler once commented that George had blond curls and sprayed himself in the ring with perfume: "If that doesn't shatter my Fonz image, nothing will!"
