About One Terrific Guy
A highly respected and revered baseball coach has been accused by a female student of conducting some kind of research that borders on sexual molestation. When her parents decide to report him to the authorities. They are held in contempt, because the community can't believe that this wonderful man could do the things that they are accusing him of.
Directed by Lou Antonio, One Terrific Guy leans on a strong ensemble — Mariette Hartley, Wayne Rogers, Laurence Luckinbill — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1986.
