‘The Bad News Bears’ trailer title, 1976
To put it simply, for those of us who grew up in the 1970s, The Bad News Bears is comedy gold. I saw the film in the theater at the age of nine and fell in love with this tale of young, baseball playing misfits. The movie also made me a lifelong fan of Walter Matthau who starred as Coach Buttermaker.
Buttermaker knows best. (Walter Matthau in ‘The Bad News Bears,’ 1976)
The Bad News Bears is engrained in the minds of so many of us that it seems a waste of time to describe it further. Enjoy the trailer below. It spells out the film well (and probably gives away too much).
