The One and Only background

The One and Only

A charismatic but driven young actor drops out of college to chase his dreams of stardom.

In his final year of college in 1951, Andy Schmidt coasted through life, always ready with a witty remark. He won the heart of Mary, despite her being already engaged. However, securing a job after graduation proved much more challenging than he anticipated. His unconventional acting approach often clashed with directors, leading him to explore an alternative career in wrestling. To avoid getting hurt, he developed a staged fight style, inadvertently creating the concept of show-wrestling.
