A British film about two outsider runners who compete in the 1924 Paris Olympics and challenge the class system. Roger Ebert praises the film's photography, music, and nostalgia for a time of glory and dignity.
Harold Abrahams overcomes anti-Semitism and class bias, but neglects his beloved sweetheart in his single-minded quest. In the class-obsessed and religiously divided UK of the early 1920s, two determined young runners train for the 1924 Paris Olympics.
