“Let ‘Em Know You’re There!”
There isn’t a lot of Paul Newman in these clips from George Roy Hill‘s Slap Shot — just two locker-room pep talks — but he and the Hanson brothers (i.e., the Carlson brothers) were beautiful in this thing. In the second clip, the riled-up referee’s reaction during the playing of the national anthem is perfect — two turn-arounds and a confrontation. “I’m listening’ to the fuckin’ song!” That settles it — I’m buying the DVD later today.
Jeff, I’m surprised you don’t already own this. Absolute classic.
One of his top credits, easy, and not as well known as some others. Maybe my favorite sports-related films.
Damn it all to hell anyway…I went looking for my copy this afternoon and I think my damn husband let my brother in law ‘permanently’ borrow it. Now I’ll have to buy another copy. Same with Road To Perdition. I have to start keeping my dvds under lock and damn key.
While you’re picking up SLAP SHOT you should also pick up a copy of LADIES AND GENTLEMEN THE FABULOUS STAINS, the punk rock satire written and ultimately disowned by Nancy Dowd. It returns to the “Charlestown” millieu and has a fiery, mouthy performance by 15-year-old Diane Lane before she became the neutered woman of her last few movies. Even in its compromised form, the movie still packs a nasty smack.
I forgot how much I love this film. Newman was fantastic in so many film.
Best scene: When Newman finally tracks down
the woman who owns his team….the woman
has her young son with her…and the scene ends
with a frustrated Newman letting loose with a
staggeringly nasty, foul insult regarding the
kid’s potential for homosexuality.
Love this movie, loved Newman’s entire
career. RIP, Paul.
really good post
Thank you
Best regards!
