This is the most heart warming movie I've ever watched. I have watched this movie numerous times and still get very emotional with the end of movie. James Caan and Billie Dee Williams both do fantastic jobs in portraying these two caracters.
Summary of Brian's Song
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 DesowitzThis highly acclaimed winner of five Emmy Awards is one of the best-loved movies ever made for television. It s the true story of the special relationship between two professional football players Gale Sayers (Billy Dee Williams) and Brian Piccolo (James Caan). Both star players for the Chicago Bears Sayers and Piccolo soon become roommates and best friends. When Sayers suffers a knee injury in mid-season it s Piccolo who prods and inspires him to work toward a complete recovery. Then fate deals a cruel blow: Piccolo is stricken with malignant cancer. The constant support and friendship of Sayers plays an important role in Piccolo s heroic fight against the disease. Also starring Shelly Fabares (TV s Coach) as Piccolo s loving wife Brian s Song is a moving and unforgettable film.System Requirements:Starring: Billy Dee Williams James Caan and Shelly Fabares.
