Number One (1969)

Washed-up NFL QB finds real life harder to deal with than eroding skills on the field.
28 April 2007
This is a good date movie if you and your date don't want to watch the movie. The young lady I was with wanted me to pay attention to her, so I did. We had a wonderful time "paying attention" to each other. By the way, we both thought it was a lousy movie - it took about 15 minutes to figure out that Charlton Heston did not make a credible football player, washed up or otherwise, and he didn't do such a great job with the straight acting, either. I do remember Heston opening the blouse of the character played by Diana Muldaur. Diana was a babe in those days, in that '60s, long-flowing dark hair, eye-shadow junkie makeup style.

Unintentionally funny were some of the lines mumbled by a few real-life New Orleans Saints football players of the era - Dan Abramowicz, Doug Atkins (a very large human being), and another one who delivered what was supposed to be a locker room go-get-em speech. Sounded like he swallowed his mouth guard.

Like I said, a great date movie if you don't want to watch the movie.
