At the side of Gérard Depardieu , the American actress and stunt woman Faith Minton played her first and only leading role, until then she had only played a few, small roles.
criticism
“A heavyweight catcher is being courted by two strong men, which not only leads to turbulence, but of course also to a happy ending. An undemanding entertainment film that casually ironically takes up the problem of traditional gender behavior. Cheerful and sentimental at the same time, mostly well staged. "
