Movie Reviews of One On One
Movie Review: ONE OF MY FAVE MOVIES OF ALL TIME
Summary: 5 Stars
In 1977, my 2 younger brothers, late father and I saw two movies one after the other. The first was "Star Wars," and the other was "One on One." This was at the old QUAD Theater in Ayala Center, Makati, Philippines. The price of movies then was P5.00 for orchestra and P10.00 for loge/balcony (now movies here cost P150.00 - P180.00 or about $3.75 at the prevailing exchange rate). I truly enjoyed "One on One," not only because it had this inspiring theme about an underdog who beats the odds (something like the Rocky of basketball) but because I loved the music and the way it was interspersed with the scenes. Music played such a big part in making me appreciate this movie. I remember owning and repeatedly playing the soundtrack (on vinyl record!) at that time which I later replaced with the cd when it came out last year (or was that 2 years ago). I loved the songs performed by Seals and Crofts and I became an instant Seals and Crofts fan. The main theme "My Fair Share" has remained a radio favorite here in the Philippines up to now. One of my two other favorite songs in the soundtrack is "This Day Belongs To Me" which is played in the opening credits when Henry Steele (Robby Benson) bids his parents goodbye as he leaves home to start a new phase of his life in college. The other wonderful song "Love Conquers All" is played in the ending credits showing Henry and his ladylove (Annette O'Toole) playing basketball as the afternoon sun is about to set. Seeing this film again after so many years (there hasn't been any VHS copy anywhere) made me appreciate the movie even more. There is even a cameo role by a very young Melanie Griffith as a hitchhiker who extorts money from Henry. Annette O' Toole plays Henry's beautiful tutor whom he falls in love with. I rate this dvd 5 stars based on content. My real complaint is that it took so long for this film to come out on dvd but it does not have any special features at all for something which costs a whopping $25.99! And no subtitles? Isn't this supposed to be basic in a dvd - to have subtitles at least? They could have conducted some interviews on Robby and Annette now (32 years after!) and asked them to share their insights and anecdotes in making the movie. I am sure Robby and Annette would gladly oblige to an interview. But all in all, I had nostalgic fun watching this movie again. The steep price did not prevent me from purchasing a copy. It was quite a pricey trip down memory lane but sometimes people are willing to pay the price for something worth revisiting like "One on One" which happens to be one of my fave movies of all time!
