Plot Summary
Jessica Lange, Dennis Quaid and Timothy Hutton headline this moving slice of Americana that sizzles with sexy romance, sparkles with humor and thunders with the pad-to-pad crunch of hard-nosed football. Quaid plays a college gridiron star who struggles when events no longer fit within the playing field. Lange is his sweetheart, willingly led to life's sidelines as a player's wife, but eventually becoming a woman of strength. And Hutton is the friend who sees what living in a goldfish bowl does to supposedly charmed lives. Director Taylor Hackford (An Officer and a Gentleman, Proof of Life) guides his stellar talents through a spellbinding 30-year saga of our lives without fumbling a single detail.

everybody's all american
Made from a classic book about what America does to its sports heroes, this is a realistic and entertaining film about an era, the 50's with its attendant attitudes to women and race. Its a great and realistic film about America. I loved it!
Classic Movie about Football in Mid 20th Century America
Great movie, about white football America, in the mid 20th Century. Exceptional look at heroes and their downfall, always looking for that last hoorah. Excellent portrayals by the whole cast, the protective lineman in John Goodman, to the Southern Belle in Jessica Lange. Thumbs up, well worth the 3 buck rental, 9.99 purchase.
