Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Wonderful Re-Creation
I saw this movie when it first came out years ago and was so glad to find it out on DVD. Even though there are personal story sections that are a bit "dragged-out", the athletes accomplishments and how they got there make for a great story. I thought they did a great job making this movie, and appreciated re-seeing it again.
Rating: - A family classic
We recorded this mini-series when it was first broadcast on NBC. We nearly wore the tape out over the years until someone "borrowed" it and did not return it. We have been searching for a copy until now. It is not an oscar-class big budget movie, but for us, it has fond memories. It harkens back to a more simple time, and some of the scenes, such as when the results of the first day's competition reach the US by telegraph are tear inducing. A very good movie to watch each Olympic season!
Rating: - Great Movie About the Olympics
Outstanding movie. I don't believe it is historicly correct, but, is very well done and very entertaining.
Rating:  - Awesome movie FINALLY on DVD
This movie is a slightly glossy version of American atheletes involvement in the first modern Olympics in Athens, 1896. David Caruso fans will really enjoy this early performance as an working class Irish American determined to triumph over racial prejudice and win gold in the Olympics. The casting was very good. Despite the fact that most of the actors are little known, the quality of acting is good and keeps the viewer engaged throughout the story.
I taped this movie off the TV ... Read More
