SoTrumpBelieve Must See Movie...

Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Sharkflei Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

Aiden Melton The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

bkoganbing All The Marbles turned out to be Robert Aldrich's last directed film and while it's not the greatest film he ever directed for those who are fans of Peter Falk it's a must. In this one Falk plays the manager of a female tag team champion wrestlers the California Dolls played here by Vicki Frederick and Laurenne Landon. They do a lot of tank town shows and even accept a mud wrestling gig at one point all to get that championship match with the Toledo Tigers. They faced each other twice before and split the outcomes. The finale is a championship match in more ways than one. It's for All The Marbles.Falk really is working on all cylinders with a gamut of emtions that run from basso profundo to coloratura soprano. Just sit back and enjoy.The film also has Burt Young playing a shady promoter and Lenny Montana as his bodyguard. Young truly needs a bodyguard with all the shady stuff he pulls and he got one of the best. Lenny Montana is best known for being Luca Brasi in The Godfather and Young needs his services more than Don Corleone did.In fact you can almost forget that wrestling is an exhibition watching this film. The matches are just like what you see from WWE. Vince McMahon should be proud.

The_TJT Nice film with Peter Falk (RIP) ...I had seen it before, years ago, didn't remember it though...except the mud wrestling scene and that hot "Iris" aka Vicki Frederick - wow!I wonder why Frederick didn't make it to a bigger star, she certainly had the looks and talent to be a real 80's sweetheart/hottie...The movie is a sort of a mixed bag, divided between t&a of female wrestling scenes and story about them trying to make it...perhaps with too much wrestling/backstory depending on one's point of view... The last wrestling scene was something like 20 minutes long, a bit too much perhaps. But I have to say wrestling was well made and ladies were fit, so no big problem, entertaining fair nevertheless.I liked the 70's feel of it, reminded me a bit about Rocky...well it did have "Paulie" in it. And Columbo, in quite a different role, pulling a fine performance as a sleazy manager. And of course according to this film, wrestling is all real, not a show. Ha! Wonderful find.7.5/10

mcsalim I saw this movie in Chennai(then Madras),India way back in the early eighties while in college.I remember the movie vividly for its vibrant wrestling action and its handsome women.Peter Falk I remember at his leering best and it still remains one of my favourite movies though I've never managed to lay my hands on a DVD as yet ! I remember it running to a packed house for many weeks at a theatre called LEO which being close to our college used to be filled with a raucous crowd of chanting guys who just loved the movie.I guess we must have seen the movie no less than 5 times! It would be great to get a copy of California DOLLS(it was'nt called ALL THE MARBLES when it was released here)for old times sake. Laura really was a looker and we just loved her!

slimedevil4444-1 This is overall an entertaining movie,but I have to admit...the real interest here for me is watching 2 very sexy women wrestling. I've always enjoyed catfighting,and this is one of the few mainstream movies that has that in it. I would someday like to see a racier version of this movie,but i know I'm probably just dreaming. Its been awhile since I've seen this,but i believe there was also a jello wrestling scene in it. One thing I had a little trouble believing was that the lead dark haired wrestler was sleeping with the Peter Falk character...ewwww....highly doubtful. I recommend watching this movie to see if you like it.
