The TVI Take
Hugh Hudson's 1981 Best Picture winner, Colin Welland's screenplay, about two British sprinters at the 1924 Paris Olympics: Harold Abrahams running against antisemitic exclusion and Eric Liddell running for Christian conviction. Vangelis's synthesized score remains the canonical sports-cinema theme.
The film treats athletic excellence as a moral practice.
