![[Image: 2025-12-121.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/17801/25/2025-12-121.jpg) 1973 made-for-TV sports comedy about an ad executive's dream of turning a large redneck into a weightlifting champion which is blocked when the hillbilly falls for a Soviet gymnast! Starring James Franciscus, Alex Karras, and Hope Lange as well as featuring Howard Cosell as himself! More than likely the first film of 1973. Despite being set during the Munich Olympic Games, no mention whatsoever of the infamous massacre that took place.

Questionably set during the 1972 Munich Summer Olympics Airdate: January 2nd, 1973 -- Last edit: 2025-12-14 17:50:12 |

I saved the black & white photos because some of them looked sharper |
