Directed by Kon Ichikawa

Utilizing over 100 cameras, the director captures the essence of competition and the beauty of the human form as has never been done before. Ichikawa was commissioned by the Olympic committee to direct a film which would capture the athletic excellence of the event. Not being a sports fan, he chose to present the events in a way which would express the art and beauty involved. Hailed by Gene Siskel as one of his Top Ten Films I'd Like to See on Video.
