“In times of racial trouble, inner family strife, and complete distrust of your fellow man, this movie showed what the world would really be like if people got rid of u0026quot;oneupmanshipu0026quot; and lived life for life itself.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI HIGHLY recommend the original version (1971)u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe acting was not campy, there was nothing to be really showy about, the football clips were some of the best ever incorporated (they actually became part of the plot), and other male leads were extremely believable in their roles.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe females werenu0026#39;t too bad, either.”
