This short montage was used by CBS during the 1967 season at the completion of NFL broadcasts. Credits, corporation logos, and voiceover would be overlaid on top of the montage as it played. You can see the next season's 1968 montage here to get an idea of how this one would've looked -- • 1968 NFL Championship ... -- The theme music here is a complete clean copy with no voiceover of what we have titled 'Confidence', as the music is clearly based off the music of the same name from 'The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty' musical from 1964 -- • Confidence . This montage was sourced from a 16mm film print and I color-corrected and re-saturated it using Resolve. I also enhanced, upscaled, and doubled the framerate with Topaz.

Not only was this THE identifying theme for a Sunday afternoon, our high school band always stepped onto the field for their pre-game in the early 1970s to "Confidence." Like "The Hockey Song," it became the theme of a sport that belonged to no team or level of play. Everyone shared the understanding that 'Confidence' meant football. As Dave and others pointed out, the 1964 'Secret Life of Walter Mitty' musical never made it to Broadway. Fortunately an off-Brodway production was recorded by Colombia records. (The lyrics to 'Confidence' are rather humorous.) And yet, this up-tempo, music-only version from an otherwise flop musical is stuck in millions of people's heads 60 years later.

I remember this song!!! I was about 11 years old and just started watching Sunday pro football. I had a classmate who invited me over to his house because his family had a COLOR TV set. WOW!! What a difference!! The players suddenly had green grass stains on their uniforms. Their jersey colors were no longer Black and White. It was a whole new world. We didn't get a color TV at our house until early 1969. I have a great appreciation for the music used by NFL Films when showing football highlights the following Saturday.

OMG... yes! The "Confidence" theme from '67! The one that starts with "The Duke" and contains the famous "Landry grimace"! Seriously, I was recalling this one nostalgically when I was 13 years old (I was weird like that), and have literally been hoping to see it again for fifty years. One of the first things I ever searched for on the web, that kind of thing. I realize this is the outro so maybe not the same edit as the open, but still, finally watching it really is a personal milestone, lol. Thank you, Dave!

How on Earth did you find this?!? I have never ever forgotten that theme. The only thing I wish could be found is the actual footage that went along with the theme (perhaps this is a different iteration by CBS?) - only because my brother and I always had our favorite part where some QB is getting forearmed (legal then) by some defensive player. We would mimic it in slow motion. Thx Dave. Great work to find this gem.

CONFIDENCE-Love the clean copy, going to make it my ringtone! Question- do the Topaz and Resolve programs you use to create these gems require advanced skill? There are some non football vids I like to try my hand cleaning up, e.g. the classic 1978 Yankees Red Sox playoff game, which has been out there for years but in a decidedly washed out print.

@davevolskysbackdoor5673 9 ай бұрын

Topaz is pretty straightforward. Resolve is more advanced, especially in the color-grading. Still there are auto modes which can sometimes get you close to what you want. Resolve has a FREE version (that's what I use and it does 98% of what the paid version does) which you could download right now and work on -- www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve. Topaz has a free trial, which I don't know if it is limited time or not, but it leaves a big watermark on the end result. Still, it would help you see what can be done -- www.topazlabs.com/topaz-video-ai

@davevolskysbackdoor5673- sir, that you posted this, is a sign of providence! I have been searching for this intro/outro montage for YEARS online, and you have posted it! I fondly remember this intro/outro because I went to a neighbor's house every Sunday to play with their grandchildren, the few kids my age I spent time with other than a few at elementary school. Grandpa would dutifully have the Cleveland Browns game on every Sunday, and so I have a deep burned memory of this. I know it would be greedy to ask, but does the Marching Band bum bum, bum bum, bum bum, bum-bum-bum bum ,whistle sound, ticket torn intro companion exist at all anywhere? Can you dig up that from some dungeon like archive? Thanks a million!

Super Bowl VIII was the last time CBS used this time. In 1974, CBS went with a live wraparound and a totally different theme. Jack Whitaker and Lee Leonard hosted the presentation. In 1975, CBS revived the NFL Today pre game and brought on Brent Musburger, Irv Cross and Phyllis George to host.

@GeorgeDamon 9 ай бұрын

That tackle would be right on the borderline of unnecessary roughness. It would probably depend on the official. That shot of Landry is, I believe, from the 1966 NFL Championship when Don Meredith threw the game-ending interception on the 2-yard line.

@davevolskysbackdoor5673 9 ай бұрын

@@GeorgeDamon Actually I'm pretty sure that shot of Landry isn't after the interception, as no other Cowboys are reacting. Instead I believe it was 3 plays earlier when the Cowboys had the ball on the Packer 1-yard line, 2nd and goal, and Meredith threw an incomplete pass to Norman and Dallas was penalized for being offsides, moving them back to the 6. Landry knew that was huge, and sure enough Dallas didn't gain another yard on the final three plays.

@davevolskysbackdoor5673 9 ай бұрын

I misspoke about the 'not gaining another yard' - Dallas did indeed gain 4 yards on third down on a pass to Norman. I just checked the 'One Big Play' 1966 Championship film and that Landry grimace actually has sideline audio associated with it, and both Landry and another player do indeed mention 'offsides' during this shot, so it definitely occurred after that.

@GeorgeDamon 9 ай бұрын

@@davevolskysbackdoor5673 OK, thanks for the information. I was going to check on that myself. The associated audio does, indeed, pin it down, which is a good thing since, as you know, NFLF often used clips out of context if it "told the story better". It's probably my one big beef with the way NFLF put their shows together back then.

@davevolskysbackdoor5673 9 ай бұрын

The first film I think where the 'revisionist' aspect occurred was the Super Bowl III Facenda film 2 years later, which Steve Sabol had full control over. On the 'Big Play' film he is only listed as Technical Director. Steve is the one that introduced the more artistic and alternate reality angles to the films when he got behind the wheel.

@davevolskysbackdoor5673 4 ай бұрын

Actually that Landry grimace is from a couple plays prior when Cowboy offensive lineman Jim Boeke was offsides on second down at the 1-yard line, which then moved Dallas back to the 6.
