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
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.

A heartbreaking story August 31, 2010
Michele Greene (Jacksonville,FL)
I remmember wacthing this movie and saying I never want to see it again. It was so moving and sad all at the same. I was in complete tears watching this thing. The mcst sad thing was he never smoke and got cancer. And he was saying I'm dying, I'm dying. I am about to cry while writing this review. That's why I don't want to see it again. The tears will just come and never stop. A great movie and sad, very sad ending.

Tear jerker December 1, 2009
Enjoyed it. Sometimes famous people become such legends that you forget they are in fact just people with hopes and dreams, this movie brings that home. Very good movie with a few tear jerking moments.
