They Call it Pro Football

About This Movie

So, 'They Call it Pro Football' is really something else. It’s like you’re getting a glimpse into the soul of the sport, rather than just watching the scoreboard tick by. The pacing feels almost meditative in parts, letting the game breathe. The way they dramatize the raw energy and artistry of football is distinct, giving you a sense of what makes the sport tick beyond just winning or losing. It’s all about the players' passion and the behind-the-scenes grit, you know? The practical effects are pretty minimal, but that adds to its charm—it feels real, unvarnished. Definitely a unique piece in NFL history, even if it doesn’t have the polish of later films.

This film has been available in various formats, but it's particularly sought after on VHS and has seen limited DVD releases. Collectors appreciate the historical context it provides, as it paved the way for future sports documentaries. Its scarcity in pristine condition can make it a valuable find for enthusiasts, especially those focusing on early NFL history.
