2. Summary

   Very Good 3.5

   A grand and dramatic following of two British athletes’ journey to the 1924 Olympics. This engrossing story does more than let you in to what drives people to succeed — but also gives you a marvelous glimpse in to history and elements of morality and psyche as exhibited by a Jewish man at Cambridge and a devout Christian from Scotland. Very goodmovie.

4. Acting

   Very Good 3.5

   I’m not sure whatever happened to Ian Charleson (Eric Liddell from Scotland) and Ben Cross (Harold Abrahams from Cambridge), but the two did a wonderful job at giving us a sense of the emotion they must have went through during those times. It must be pretty universal for athletes even today.
