I remember when they filmed this movie in Cleveland at the old Municipal Stadium. They recruited 15,000 people for the background shots during the game.
10/31/65. My big brother and I were there. Cold as hell. WC was 34 but felt colder. Row Z, closed end. I was only 8 yrs old. We lost (27-17, I think). Jim Brown scored a 1 yard TD @ closed end in garbage time but was still exciting. Didn't see the film crew as we were wayyyy too far away. Plus we were too busy freezing our testicles off.
@@oscarwilde6649 Cool! I mean cold! And I know what cold is, coming from Cleveland. I've talked to my idol Jim Brown out here several times at the golf course. He couldn't have been nicer. A better athlete has never lived. Since they recruited 15,000 (if I recall correctly), I'm guessing they filmed at a real game and had other shots done with just the recruited extras. Remember the men's room troughs? Rather primitive.
@@gomerhodge. they did film at a real game, then added shots the next day. Several Browns were used to finish the scenes, some even put on Vikings uniforms. If you watch the punt return closely, it's actually against the Eagles.
Absolutely marvellous. It is film noir-ish to the hilt. I see a solitary figure walking down a desolate rain-splattered streetraincoat draped over one shoulder and a fedora one sided on his head. His woman just broke it off. Sinatra would love to be in this.
One of my favorites from Andre Previn. This particular soundtrack concluded a long, jazzy, thematic arc he'd been on since "The Subterraneans" seven years earlier.
Song is called "Second Chance" is absolutely stunning with a gorgeous arrangement. The "Seesaw" opening credits are on youtube as well and feature a trumpet solo by Uan Rasey. Here, I'm guessing the trombone is Dick Nash (Mancini's go-to guy for trombone solos).
FOOTBALL ANYBODY? - If you haven't seen this movie and want to laugh and enjoy the early comedy dynamics of Jack Lemon and Walter Mathew's "professional football insurance" scamming techniques they get away with, you're missing a doozy of a motion picture. JB
R.I.P. Andre Previn. Great composer, musician & conductor...
A very underrated movie. Also a great soundtrack from Andre Previn.
+Dennis Sanchez Totally agree.It was my late fathers favourite film .

Wonderful writing. A classic work, unfortunately mostly forgotten.

Had to listen to this again, Strings and woodwinds are nice too; what a melody for dancing.
Man that Trombone is good.
If I had to guess, that was Dick Nash, who was Henry Mancini's go-to guy for all 'bone solos. Anybody know for sure?
@@vintagecornet The trombonist is Joe Howard.
ABSOLUTELY Soul Touching 😘😘😘
Luther "Boom Boom" Jackson played by Ron Rich who did some "Gomer Pyle" episodes & was fast friends with Ali.
I saw him on an episode of I Spy one time.
Classic!!! Great music from one of my favorite movies when I was a kid....thanks for posting!!!
I remember this movie as "Whiplash Willie" here in The Emerald Isle.
Late '50s to mid '60s: a golden era for world (and american) cinema!...
Billy Wilder + Walter Matthau + Jack Lemmon + André Previn =💥
Also contains music from "Two for the Seesaw" opening scene where Mitchum arrives in N.Y.

@@vintagecornet To me, this sounds more like Joe Howard than Dick Nash.
I'm in love

In the movie, this is played only when Boom Boom Jackson is in the scene.
R.I.P., Andre Previn.
RIP Andre Previn.
Bad guys has a nice Bass Saxophone. Sounds like a Gerry Mulligan number.
pbruc brooks i liked that trombone on good guys; great! Heavy but sincere.
It's just right.
that is a baritone sax. Mulligan's instrument!
The old NFL pre merger. It was a much better game and a lot less injuries . and no thugs playing.
Zimula!😂
Where did you get this file? I'd like to put into my iPod.
Who is on baritone sax?
