Product Information
Director Hugh Hudson's absorbing drama, based on a true story, deals with the personal struggles faced by two very different long-distance runners competing for Britain in the 1924 Paris Olympic Games. Eric Liddell (Ian Charleson) is a devout Christian who sees victory as a testament to the glory of God, while the other, Harold Abrahams (Ben Cross), is a Jewish Cambridge student who sees victory as a challenge to anti-Semitism and his ongoing struggle for acceptance by Britain's elite. Eric, a hometown Scottish hero to the people, gives rousing sermons after victory and works at a local missionary. Harold runs with a zealous commitment, upsetting Cambridge's educational upper crust (played with enjoyable wit and candor by Sir John Gielgud and Lindsay Anderson) while enjoying social life with his university chums and his beautiful showgirl girlfriend (Alice Krige). But when faced with such a competent challenger, Harold hires trainer Sam Mussabini (Ian Holm) to further his dreams of winning the gold. Ultimately, the two runners meet in Paris to run for British victory in a rousing finale. Featuring an unforgettable soundtrack by Vangelis, this Academy Award-winning film is an inspirational story of athletic excellence and spiritual awakening that captures the zeal of post-WWI Britain and the glory of the Olympics.Product Identifiers

3 Olympians show true nobility on and off track field
must pay close attention at beginning of movie to keep main characters straight. One in particular a bit long feature wise, but enjoyed the 2 "L's" story lines. Not enough screen time at end of the movie to see what happened to their post Olympian win days.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Great buy!
Inexpensive and played well. In the opening scenes the pictures shakes just a little, but not enough to interfere with what's going on and it subsides quickly.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

engaging
It is a good movie because it tells a story that will have you rooting for the characters. The music engages you and so does the story about 2 British runners in the 1924 Olympics in Paris.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
