“On its own, somewhat obvious level, Brian’s Song worked. Not least in its favor were two exceptionally fine performances: James Caan as Brian Piccolo and Billy Dee Williams as Gale Sayers.” – New York Times

In the mid-1960s, a time when professional football still had elements of racial segregation, two competitive Chicago Bears rookies become interracial roommates. Brian Piccolo (James Caan) and Gale Sayers (Billy Dee Williams) develop a growing friendship, as do their wives, Joy (Shelley Fabares) and Linda (Judy Pace). The teammates become a symbol of harmony during the tumultuous civil rights era, and their bond grows stronger when Piccolo receives some unexpected and shattering news.

Don’t miss this rare opportunity to see the moving 1971 ABC Movie of the Week on the big screen.
