Amazing footage. My grandfather came all the way from Dublin to Melbourne on a boat to see the Olympic Games. He met my grandmother here and never left. If it wasn't for the Olympic Games I would not be alive. I hope Melbourne one day hosts the Olympic Games again.

I'm loving the outfits too, but martjek is right. It's a facade that hides a culture of extreme repression and intolerance. Nowadays, the jumping, smiling, waving and taking of pictures is a sign that our athletes are happy, proud and feel free to unapologetically be themselves. It's unfortunate that their happiness bothers some of you.

​@@gameguru1234 : A lot of shows in the 70s-90s were shot on videotape (not digitally) hence why they look the way that they do (and the quality of such footage is more or less fixed, unlike film which can be scanned at as high a resolution as one is willing). Most UK/Australian TV shows would have been shot on videotape with only some segments shot on film (usually exteriors).

🇮🇩 Satu-satunya partisipasi timnas sepak bola Indonesia di kancah Olimpiade terjadi pada Olimpiade Melbourne (Australia) tahun 1956. Indonesia langsung lolos ke babak perempat final setelah Taiwan mengundurkan diri di babak kualifikasi. Saat itu Indonesia diperkuat Andi Ramang, legenda Indonesia yang diakui FIFA. Juga diperkuat kiper sekaligus kapten tim bernama Maulwi Saelan. Pasca memperkuat timnas, Maulwi Saelan ditunjuk sebagai ajudan pribadi Presiden Soekarno. Kiprah timnas sepak bola Indonesia di Olimpiade Melbourne 1956 langsung kandas di babak perempat final setelah takluk dari tim raksasa Uni Soviet yang diperkuat kiper legendaris, Lev Yashin. Selama pagelaran Olimpiade tersebut, Indonesia hanya bermain sebanyak dua kali melawan Uni Soviet. Pada pertandingan pertama, kedua tim bermain imbang 0-0. Saat itu belum ada aturan penalti sehingga pertandingan harus diulang. Sayangnya pada laga ulangan melawan Uni Soviet, Indonesia harus bertekuk lutut 4 gol tanpa balas. Timnas sepak bola Uni Soviet sendiri pada akhirnya berhasil merengkuh medali emas Olimpiade Melbourne 1956 setelah mengalahkan Yugoslavia dengan skor 1-0 di final. Ini juga menjadi medali emas Olimpiade pertama Uni Soviet dalam cabang sepak bola dan baru mereka peroleh lagi 32 tahun kemudian (Olimpiade Seoul 1988).

@@adrianjackson2696 If you actually knew what you were talking about you'd know the IOC has streamlined the games in attempt to make the bidding cheaper, fairer and now GREATLY favours cities that already have infrastructure already built. The IOC has gone to great lengths to make the games cheaper and easier to host. Thats why cities like Tokyo, Paris, Los Angeles and (most likely) Brisbane are winning the right to host games, because they have the infrastructure already built and the IOC is no longer looking at developing countries to host. And plenty of cities did well out of the summer games. LA in 84, Seoul 88, Sydney 2000, London 2012 were all successful. Even Atlanta in 1996 while not a great success wasn't a financial disaster and Barcelona 1992 was very successful as well. Few Olympics have been financial disasters. Thats a myth. As for Melbourne, they DID want to get the games again in 1996, a mere 40 years after hosting. One of the reasons Melbourne didn't even get close to hosting was that either Melbourne host the games later in the year like in 1956 or hold them during winter. Neither option was liked by the IOC or other countries and rightly so. A summer games in October means no NBA players for the basketball. A "summer" games in Melbourne in winter month of August is moronic. And Melbourne regardless if they wanted to or not CANNOT EVER HOST THE SUMMER GAMES. But for you to claim Melbourne has NEVER wanted to host the Olympics again is a lie.

@@analcommando1124 - Don't use condescending language in the first part of your post. I know what I am talking about.. I live in Melbourne and know a former athlete who was part of the 1996 bid. They definitely wanted the games but after all the loss saved Australia a lot of money. Later we had the excellent Commonwealth Games in 2006 that were better than the Olympics anyway. No cheating, doped up or big ego athletes from the USA, Russia or China as a bonus.

Amazing film but the narration is a product of its time. The film appeared to have an American bias, particularly around the 100 m and the shot put. No mention of the placegetters in the 100 m, yet the narrator goes down to 4th in the shot put to mention, you guessed it, an American! I point this out as the bronze medal in the 100 m was an Australian named Hec Hogan (the only Australian in the history of the Olympics to win a medal in the 100 m), who by my eyes looked like he actually came 2nd, yet the other American was awarded silver...and he was given the same time as the winner? Seemed odd. I now put in a protest 65 years after the event!!!

The Australian 100% came 2nd. It's a whole frame afterwards when the other American crosses the line.

With 1 million people in 1956 Melbourne is still a city not a town. Koalas are not bears. Duke not Dook narrator . Despite some problems, including sexism aimed at some female athletes, this film is excellent quality.

Just found Delaney's 1500. I'd only previously seen the Russian version ... Truly a fascinating social document: watching others watching sports. The period 1952-1964 is one of the most misunderstood eras of recent history. During this time the template of Western civilization's collapse was forged. People born in 1959 like myself were unaware of this of course. Some are now waking up but I am not optimistic going forward into old age.
