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. |
