Semi-Tough is an easy-going comedy about two professional football players (Reynolds and Kristofferson) and their mutual girlfriend (Clayburgh). It was adapted from a novel by Dan Jenkins, Ring Lardner, Jr. (who had his name removed from the film credits) and Walter Bernstein. The film differs materially from the source novel.
