"A roaring tour de force of candid filmmaking, “Football,” as it also known, nails the reality of high school football as a cultural phenomenon. Filmmaker James Lipscomb returned to his alma mater and turned his cameras onto two coaches of arch-rival teams facing off for the 1961 city championship. Richard Leacock, who worked on the film, called it “one of the most revealing films ever made,” and Frederick Wiseman recently listed it as one of his four favorite docs. - Jill Drew, daughter-in-law of Robert Drew and General Manager of Drew Associates"
