…All the Marbles
…All the Marbles ★★ The California Dolls 1981 (R)
A manager of two beautiful lady wrestlers has dreams of going to the top. Aldrich's last film, and an atypical one, with awkward pacing and a thin veil of sex exploitation. Falk provides needed grace and humor as the seedy manager, with Young contributing his usual competent bit as a hustling promoter dabbling in criminal activity. One of the few tag-team women wrestling pictures, it builds to a rousing finale match in the “Rocky” tradition, although the shift in tone and mounting cliches effectively body slam the intent. 113m/C VHS . Peter Falk, Burt Young, Vicki Frederick, Richard Jaeckel, Claudette Nevins; D: Robert Aldrich; C: Joseph Biroc.
