Football fans who missed the premiere of “The Wishbone Boys” documentary last fall in Tuscaloosa can now have a copy of their own.

The 62-minute film, directed and produced by actor-turned-filmmaker and lifelong Alabama fan Tim Card, is now available for purchase on DVD. “The Wishbone Boys” tells the story of Paul “Bear” Bryant and his Crimson Tide’s championship run through the 1970s, when they rode the wishbone triple-option offense to three national championships and nine SEC championships in an 11-year period from 1971-81.

Nearly a decade in the making and packed with interviews with dozens of former Alabama stars including Johnny Musso, Ozzie Newsome, Terry Davis, Sylvester Croom and Major Ogilvie, “The Wishbone Boys” had its debut showing before a capacity crowd at the Bama Theatre in Tuscaloosa. Since the premiere, Card has screened the film in a number of private settings and has been working to secure a distribution deal with television networks and streaming services.

“It took a lot to get this film done,” Card said. “It took eight years to put together — it took five years just to get all the interviews done. The premiere couldn’t have gone any better. It was well-received. Everybody that saw it really loved it. We just want to get it out to more people, and DVD is the way to do that now.

“It comes in a nice, commemorative case. It would definitely make a great gift for any ‘Bama fan.”

“The Wishbone Boys” retails for $34.99 and is available for purchase at wishboneboys.com. A companion book, written by Card with Robert Wray, is available via Amazon.com and at other booksellers.
