Piccolo's and Sayers's sharply differing temperaments and racial backgrounds made them unlikely to become as close friends as they did, including becoming the first interracial roommates in the history of the NFL, and the film chronicles the evolution of their friendship. The production was such a success on ABC that it was later shown in theaters with a major premiere in Chicago. however, it was soon withdrawn due to a lack of business. Critics have called the movie one of the finest TV Films ever made.
