Description
Cast: Paul Newman, Strother Martin, Michael Ontkean
In his funniest, most foul-mouthed performance, Paul Newman is Reggie Dunlop, coach and aging hockey player for the minor league Charlestown Chiefs. When the town mill announces its closing and the team faces imminent folding, Reg launches a series of crazy promotional schemes to attract interested buyers, including hiring the goonish Hanson Brothers.
