One Trick Pony is a 1980 movie written by and starring Paul Simon. An album of the same name was released concurrently. Despite their similarities, the album and film are musically distinct, each featuring different versions of the same songs, as well as certain songs that appear exclusively on either the film or the album. Simon plays Jonah, a once-popular rock star who has not had a hit in 10 years, and who now opens for punk rock bands.

  • One Trick Pony is a 1980 movie written by and starring Paul Simon. An album of the same name was released concurrently. Despite their similarities, the album and film are musically distinct, each featuring different versions of the same songs, as well as certain songs that appear exclusively on either the film or the album. Simon plays Jonah, a once-popular rock star who has not had a hit in 10 years, and who now opens for punk rock bands. He is trying to record a new album, but faces a number of obstacles, including a trendy but talentless producer who is trying to convince him to compromise his principles, and an indifferent record company which is pressuring him for something that will sell. He is also trying to restore his relationship with his former wife and his young son. The movie has been said to be based on experiences Simon's professional and personal life. Walter Fox, the record company executive portrayed by Rip Torn, was rumoured to be based Walter Yetnikoff, who was President of CBS Records, Simon's former label, in the 70s. (Simon went to Warner Bros. Records in 1979) The movie also featured the last appearance of the original members of The Lovin' Spoonful, in a simulated TV show appearance. The song "Late in the Evening," off the film's soundtrack, hit #6 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts. After years of being available only on videocassette, in 2009, the film was finally released by Warner Brothers on DVD.
  • One Trick Pony 1980 — американский драматический фильм по сценарию Пола Саймона и с его участием. Одновременно опубликован одноимённый музыкальный альбом. Нельзя смешивать фильм и альбом, потому что их песни немного различаются, а в фильме звучит больше песен, чем на альбоме.
