Screenings in NY & LA
Throughout the exhibit’s run, the Paley Center will screen memorable NFL games and documentaries, most notably the first-ever public screening of the historic broadcast of the first Super Bowl, between the Green Bay Packers and the Kansas City Chiefs. Long thought lost, this “Holy Grail” for sports collectors spent nearly forty years stored at the home of Beth Rebuck. Rebuck’s late ex-husband Martin Haupt recorded the game on a Quadruplex taping machine in the Scranton television station where he worked, with the intent of passing it along to their son Troy Haupt. Troy donated the recordings to the Paley Center where it was restored and entered into the Paley Archive.
Screenings in New York: September 14 to October 27, Wednesdays to Sundays.
Screenings in Los Angeles: September 18 to October 27, Wednesdays to Sundays. (Note: There will no screenings after 5:00 pm in Los Angeles)
