My economics teacher from high school used to play runningback for the Detroit Lions and he would show us this video all the time. He was so proud of the like two lines that he said. Look out for him, his name is Tommy Vaughn. He looks much younger in this film. Nowadays, he's just a fat old turtle.

A lost gem from the late 1960s featuring a fine performance from a very young Alan Alda as real life sportswriter George Plympton, who became famous in the 1960s for actually attempting to play professional sports, from being a goalie for the Boston Bruins to fighting 3 rounds against Sugar Ray Robinson. "Paper Tiger" is the story of Plympton's brief stay at the Detroit Lions training camp and his eventual 15 minutes playing quarterback in an actual game. This is not a perfect film by any means but is a fine showcase for Alda's talents. Also many professional athletes such as Alex Karras and Frank Gifford lend their real experiences to the film. Lauren Hutton is there as girlfriend/scenery but offers little to the film. Keep an eye out for a young Roy Scheider playing football in the park early in the film.

7.5/10. Compellingly gritty and brutally realistic portrayal of the sport. Very entertaining debut by Alan Alda. 8-15-2014.

Austin Powers meets NFL Films. Alan Alda was pretty well cast as Mr. Plimpton (probably worth a watch just to see that), but it's so, well, 1968, with the shag-a-delic nightclubs and the interminable scenes of the "real" NFL via NFL Films. Still, it seems pretty faithful to the book, even if it's oozing filler with Lauren Hutton looking longingly at the gangly Alan Alda and - of all people - David Doyle auditioning for his future role in Charlie's Angels.

The scenes on the football field are absorbing and hilarious by turns; I imagine pro football fans will enjoy the movie enormously.
