Review of Paper Lion (1968) by Charles B — 13 Jul 2008
Austin Powers meets NFL Films. Alan Alda was pretty well cast as Mr. Plimpton (probably worth a watch just to see that), but it's so, well, 1968, with the shag-a-delic nightclubs and the interminable scenes of the "real" NFL via NFL Films.
Still, it seems pretty faithful to the book, even if it's oozing filler with Lauren Hutton looking longingly at the gangly Alan Alda and - of all people - David Doyle auditioning for his future role in Charlie's Angels.
