Wolff Movie Index

Longest Yard, The(1974)

Wolff rating: NOT BAD

Plot summary: Burnout super-quarterback annoys his mistress and ends up running the prison team in a semi-pro game against the prison guards.

Biased, pithy comments: At times giving an intriguing view into prison life and at times following the characters of these lost souls in the Florida prison world, if it weren't just centered around a predictable football game, it would be truly cool. As it is, it's intriguing but a little dated.

How many times I have seen it: x1

Starring: Burt Reynolds, Eddie Albert, Ed Lauter, Michael Conrad.
Directed by: Robert Aldrich
