C.C. & Company (1970) from Tuna |
C.C. & Company (1970) features Joe Namath opposite Ann-Margret in his first "starring" role. |
Namath
joined a motorcycle gang called The Heads, but gets a lot
of static from the gang leader, who resents Namath's
popularity and abilities, of which acting is not one. Namath meets Margret, who is his acting equal, and enters a motocross race to impress her. He wins the race and her, but has some trouble getting out of the gang. |

comments: The film was written by Margret's husband, former TV pretty boy, Roger Smith. Not surprisingly, he was never again able to sell his services as a writer. If I were going to write a script for my wife, I would include lines like: CC: (played by somebody who has to look bad throwing a football) Hey, Crazy Charlie, stop rapin' that chick, man. By the way, Baltimore Colts rule, man! This would at least minimize the likelihood of the director casting Joe Namath. Seriously, they wanted Namath. This movie came out when Namath was still a young football star in his mid-twenties. He won his famous "guaranteed" superbowl victory over the Colts in 1969, and this film came out in 1970, an obvious attempt to capitalize on his emerging legend. |
