Fast Break never turned out to be a film that would make Gabe Kaplan a major
film star name. Still on its own itsbout a a man from Brooklyn who fulfills a
dream of any sports fan.
Kaplan's sport is basketball and he's written hundreds of letters to colleges announcng his availability as a coach. He gets one reply from a ramshackle broken down college un Nevada, They'll pay him and he works cheap and comes with his own players.
Quite a collection too that include Harold Sylvester, Michael Warren and a secret weapon Mavis Washington who oes incognito to all in male drag. Her character provides some gender bending humor along the lines of Victor/Victoria.
The big day is when hs Cadwllader College team beats Nevada State coahced by state celelbrity Bert Remsen. Quite a game too.
Wome in the cast include Randee Heller and Connie Sawyer as Kapllan's wife and mother. Both are well cast in their parts.
As for Kaplan he incorporates a lot of his character and humor from his character in Welcome Back Kotter. I'm sure Kaplan regrets the decision he made to leave Welcome Back Kotter. It killed the series and he didn't obtain movie stardom. But we did get a good sports film from it.
