Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Champions rule...
This Golan-Globus 1983 movie was a bit tame for its day (my opinion), although many people were morally shocked by the story revelations. A good many these days would have some trouble understanding the references and outrage prompted by the unfolding drama. There is good chemistry between the actors most of the movie. It purports to be based on real incidents from a small town's 1957 Championship high school football team and is from a 1972 play by Jason Miller which ran for 988 performances. The ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - That Championship Season
One of the most overlooked movies made in the last 50 years. Acting, script, and direction are all superb.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Weak production of a great play
Those of us who are old enough to remember the dynamic original production of TCS can only be disapppointed by this disjointed film. Even the involvement of playwright Jason Miller didn't help.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - It's easier to believe the lie
The place is Scranton, PA, and four members and their coach of the 1957 state basketball champs are holding their 24th reunion. These men have held on to that moment of glory as if it were their life preserver, as indeed it is - for their lives now are filled with broken dreams and disillusionment. One (Bruce Dern) is running for re-election as mayor, though he's lost touch with the people; another (Martin Sheen) is an alcoholic; another a lecher; still another a weasily follower. The coach (Robert ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - winning play
It's not often a playwright gets to direct the film of his own play so Jason Miller's production of the Pultizer Prize winner, which took 10 years to reach the screen, brings great expectations. Miller seems to have opted to concentrate on the performances of his 5 principle players, as opposed to trying for any visual style, which is appropriate for this kind of ensemble Eugene O'Neill-ish drama. The stage origins of the material are still in evidence, by having the actors constantly moving from room ... Read More
