I love this movie.... The Best of Times......


Jack Dundee (Williams) is a banker obsessed with what he considers the most shameful moment in his life: dropping a perfectly thrown pass in the final seconds of the 1972 high school football game between Taft and their arch rivals, Bakersfield, which ended in a scoreless tie.

Since that game, Jack has found it impossible to forget this event. He works for his father-in-law, The Colonel, Bakersfield's biggest supporter, who reminds him of the event almost daily.

Thirteen years later, Jack coerces Reno Hightower (Russell), quarterback of the fateful game, and now a financially struggling van specialist in debt to Jack's bank, into helping him replay the game. Reno is the greatest quarterback in the history of South Kearn County and the only QB to wear white shoes. With Reno and Jack together, they convince supporters in both towns to re-stage the game and in the process revitalizes Taft, as well as his and Reno's marriages.
