Interesting facts
Squeeze Play! is a 1979 American comedy film directed by Lloyd Kaufman.
Production
The idea of Squeeze Play! came from a suggestion that Kaufman and Herz should make a movie about a women's softball team and their amorous adventures. Kaufman added the comedy element, and, along with his brother Charles and screenwriter Haim Pekelis, he worked out a 75-page screenplay; the Kaufmans provided ideas for sight gags and jokes, and Pekelis developed the plot.
Partly filmed in Leonia, New Jersey, including scenes at Leonia High School and Sylvan Park.
