Only Charles Strouse and Mel Brooks can mix Physics and Football and get musical comedy. Their 1961 show All American takes place at a college known more for its football team than its Physics Department but Dean Hawkes-Bullock (Kate Marilley) changes all that by hiring Professor Fodorski (Matt Wilson) from Vienna.
His passion for science is only appreciated by Edwin (Sean Bell) one of the school's worst athletes. Edwin's charm is only appreciated by co-ed Susan (Jessica Wagner) until the former's grasp of Physics allows him to propel a football and the SBIT team to the Cotton Bowl. Coach Hulk (James Kidd) is suitably amazed by it all and unsuitably concussed during a game so that Fodorski imparts his knowledge to the team from the sidelines - becoming Coach of the Year.
When the head of Exploiters Unlimited (Mark Thomas Epperson) tries to merchandise Fodorski and Edwin, Hawkes-Bullock and Susan save them from a fate worse than death - fame and fortune. The school's faculty approve (Ronald Brown, Jody Cook, David Brent Howard).Videos
