• 1966 NFL “Game-of-the-Week” – 49’ers vs Lions (Week 7, October 23) at Kezar Stadium, S.F. Another “Lost Game” of NFL Films! Never available from any source on DVD until now, we’ve restored another treasure not seen since this film’s only showing on TV in October of 1966! This is a close game, won on the very last play! The 49’ers receive Yepremian’s opening kick and a short FG gives ’Frisco a 3-0 lead. Later the 49’ers drive to the Lions one and then QB John Brodie sneaks in for a touchdown, upping the score to 10-0. After a Yepremian FG, a Karl Sweetan pass is grabbed by Pat Studstill at the two and next play, FB Amos Marsh plows over to tie the game just before the half at 10-10. At the end of three quarters, the 49’ers have the lead 13-10 on a 28-yd Tommy Davis FG. John David Crow scores from the 1-yd line in the 4th quarter, giving SF a 20-10 lead with less than 8 minutes left. But just 37 seconds later, Sweetan’s electrifying 73-yd TD pass play to Studstill narrows the lead to only 3, stunning SF fans! San Francisco eats up clock on their next drive as they work toward a clinching score, but a Brodie pass is intercepted by Bruce Mahr on the two and run out to the 21, where a 49’er penalty adds 15 more yards to the runback. The ball is on the 49’ers 14 when QB Sweetan himself runs the ball to the three. Then his pass to Jim Gibbons in the end zone gives the Lions the first lead they’ve had all day, 24-20! Brodie then has 51 seconds left to try to win the game. Kermitt Alexander runs the ball out to the 30. A pass to Ken Williard gains 19. Monte Stickles takes a 15-yd pass to the 36 where a Lions penalty adds on 15 more! The ball is on the 21 with 8 seconds left! Then Brodie finds Stickles open down the middle, and Monte’s catch wins the game for San Francisco, 27-24 in a thrilling finish!

• 1967 World Champion Philadelphia 76'ers – Following their memorable NBA record-setting championship year, the 76’er ballclub commissioned the production of this beautiful color film, now available on DVD for the first time and covering most games of the playoffs, including all three series vs. the Cincinnati Royals, Boston Celtics, and San Francisco Warriors. Narrator of the film is Charlie Swift, with additional comments from club owner Irv Kosloff, G.M. Jack Ramsay, and coach Alex Hannum.

The Boston Celtics had won the Eastern Finals the year before when “Havlicek stole the ball” and almost half of this film is concentrated on the Boston series, as the two teams were still bitter rivals a year later in the Eastern Finals. Even the post-game Eastern champion 76’er’s dressing room champagne celebration is shown from this historic matchup!
