My personal vote for one of the funniest - if not THE funniest - movie of all time.
On February 18, 1977, you could catch a MAJOR STUDIO PREVIEW of SLAP SHOT at the Norridge 2 in Norridge. That day’s Chicago Tribune also featured a brief mention of Paul Newman doing his own skating and body checking in the film.
