The One and Only (Carl Reiner, 1978)

The film follows Henry Winkler, known for his "Fonz" character on "Happy Days," as an outrageously self‑confident but out‑of‑work actor who leaves college to pursue stardom. He searches for fame in the unlikely arena of the wrestling ring. Winkler’s performance is incisive, and Kim Darby plays his loving wife who struggles to cope with his antics. The witty, well‑paced script is directed by comic great Carl Reiner.
