Synopsis
A football field becomes the confrontation site between a small-town police department headed by its peace-loving chief (Roche) and a band of local hippies led by his son (Goodeve) who decide to settle their differences on the gridiron. Tony Randall is a bearded guru -- a successful insurance agent who dropped out -- chosen to coach the hippies in this film, set in the late '60s, based on a short movie by Jack Epps, Jr., that won a Blue Ribbon from the American Film Institute. Made as "Pigs vs. Freaks" (the same title as Epps' 1970 short film), it sat on the shelf for more than four years before premiering, although initially it had been scheduled to be shown in November of 1980.
