    • Quotes

      Vernell Bird: Bubba, how come you didn't come home when Daddy died?

      Norwood Pratt: Well, I tried to get a leave but it was just too far away to get back in time.

      Bill Bird: Listen, it was a damned good, all round funeral. Your poor sister fainted twice.

      Vernell Bird: Oh, everybody said Daddy looked so nice there at the end. You know, the funeral home, they scrubbed him all down with Boraxso and everything and all that grease from the filling station was just gone! I never seen him look so clean.

    Campbell goes deep, Namath throws...Incomplete!
    All the makings of a decent movie, at the time the world's most popular athlete and the world's most popular singer come together in a so-so movie. Namath's acting made Glen's Oscar caliber! I love Glen Campbell and that had a lot to do with the 8 rating I gave it. If Glen wasn't in it, I'd have given it a 3. If you can find the soundtrack, get it instead! Dom Delouise is in this movie if that helps your judgement and Kim Darby plays a weaker, pregnant Madie Ross(True Grit). Watch it anyway!
