Product Description:
Gale Sayers joins the Chicago Bears and is befriended by Brian Piccolo, an over-achieving running back. Although they compete for the same spot on the team, and despite the fact that Sayers is black and Piccolo white, they become roommates on the road and very close friends, especially when Sayers is injured and Piccolo helps his recovery. Later, they and their wives must both deal with the harsh reality of Piccolo's cancer.
Amazon.com:
While women shed more than a few tears over Love Story back in 1970, men had their equivalent with Brian's Song on TV. This biopic about the Chicago Bears' Brian Piccolo and Gale Sayers is no mere sports film. It's one of those transcendent stories that struck a rare cultural nerve, a sensitive film about love, friendship, cancer, racial harmony, and football that came along at just the right time. James Caan is at his free-spirited best as Piccolo, and Billy Dee Williams is very charming as the quiet Sayers destined for superstardom. Roommates and rivals, these two rookies soon become best friends because of their competitive natures and complementary personalities. When Piccolo becomes stricken with cancer, his relentless will to live inspires the talented Sayers to reach his athletic potential. Jack Warden, as the masterful coach George Halas, superbly manipulates the ying and yang relationship for all it's worth. Michel Legrand's melancholy theme still lingers in the mind as one of the all-time greats. --Bill Desowitz

I ordered this movie along with the remade version. This is one of my favorite movies of all times!! I was excited to find it available at Amazon because I knew that I would get good service with Amazon and I was not disappointed! The order came really fast and just as advertised "NEW". Awesome!!!

I ordered the video late on a Saturday night and it was here Monday by 3:00pm. I wasn't expecting it that fast. I had bought the newer version of Brian's song but it just didn't have the same feel that the James Caan, Billy Dee Williams version does. When I watch this one, I feel like I really am watching Gayle Sayers and Brian Piccolo. I was really surprised that it was in my hands within 24 hours. WOW

I recently screened the original BRIAN'S SONG for a film series on "Friendship In Film." It's not easy to find American films that explore that theme on a deeper level than the typical buddy-buddy flick. There are any number of films out there about deep and lasting friendships between women, but male friendship has been significantly less attention paid to it--understandable given the still strong cultural taboos against men expressing emotions and the implicit fear that too strong an emotional ...

I remember it was shortly after my divorce and I was laying on the sofa fliping through the channels and happened on Brian's Song. I'm 61 years old and to this day I have never been so moved by any film. I remember many films over the years where I teared up and had trouble talking but I've never had a movie hit me as Brian's Song did when I was laying on that sofa. I was glad I didn't have anyone else around because I cried like a baby and couldn't stop for some time. The story is about true friendship ... Read More
