I saw this in 1964 and have been looking for it for decades. The story is absolutely true except for two items: 1) Saperstien is made nicer than he really was. African Americans could not play in the NBA at that time so he had no competition and he took advantage of this. 2) The scene close to the end, I think, is a little bit of "Hollywood." However the rest is on the money. The star players play themselves. That would be Goose Tatum, Marcus Haynes, and Sweetwater Clifton. The game footage is real. There is one scene that will blow you away. I will not spoil it for those who are not aware of it. The last game footage is, again, real and the announcer is Marty Glickman. He was a beloved announcer of New York teams. I heard him for six years and I never heard him once say a word about his past, which he could have easily slipped into any game he did. That past? He was on the USA 1936 Olympic track team as one of the relay runners--the same Olympic in which Jesse Owens participated in Germany. Because he was a Jew, Avery Brundage banned him from running in Germany, given Hitler's hatred. Brundage was a racist himself, so it was easy for him to comply.I cannot believe this DVD only cost $10. I do not want to over sell it. That can cause expectations to be too high. I will just say, if you have any interest in basketball, get the film. You will not be dissapointed.
