[@jas672]

2024 - since the Olympics is over searched for this childhood gem. Thank you for posting! USA USA USA!!

[@steveaustin2686]

Watching this again, because the Olympics are on.

[@SoulSoundMuisc]

I saw this when I was very young with my father but I didn't understand it. It aired late and I fell asleep on the floor of the den with my blankets. I've been looking around for this off and on for years and years. Thanks for posting this.

[@sharolynwells]

I watched this when it first came on and have watched it here on KZbin several times. It's one of my favorite films.

[@juanitolopez9731]

I saw this 31 years ago! Thanks for sharing it. I am now going to watch the second part. A 4-hour marathon for a Saturday afternoon!

[@yokoosawa856]

Estava procurando esse filme a anos. Assisti quando tinha 14 anos. Obrigada por compartilhar.

[@jessysheg]

Our whole family loves this movie- now my daughter loves too - watched it a dozen times

[@damiaoalvesdeazevedo5635]

Thank! I watched it in 1984, when I was 8 years old and I never forgot several scenes. I believe the series was produced in the context of promoting the Los Angeles Olympics that year. I stayed up late with my dad and my older sister, as the time that was shown in Brazil was very late at night.

[@guerracampo]

Same for me, but before Barcelona 92.

[@Arbitrator76]

What about the ‘68, ‘72, and ‘76 Olympics?

[@Ashtarot77]

I watched this when I was 7. 40 Years later, giving it a rewatch 😊

[@irondasgr]

I watched it back then in the early 80s as an elementary school kid and from then onwards I was searching to rewatch it for decades. Thanks for sharing, it brought back so many memories. In Greece this is a big deal. The Greek actors shown here are all well known actors of their time and the social - economic situation in Greece in that times was exactly as depicted. A shepherd boy entering the army was a big loss for a family's everyday life survival effort and these were the Greek problems in contrast with the "games dead end ones" that rich western societies faced.

THIS WONDERFUL T.V. MOVIE PLUS CHARIOTS OF FIRE; BOTH WORTH WATCHING AGAIN!

We used to have this on tape when I was little! My brother and I fought for 25 years about those tapes, stealing them back and forth. 😂

Angela Lansbury and Hunt Block, who played mother and son in "The First Olympics", became close friends for life in real life, with the result that Block guest-starred on "Murder, She Wrote" several times.

John Baxter Taylor Jr. (November 3, 1882, Washington, D.C. - December 2, 1908, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) was an American track and field athlete, notable as the first African American to win an Olympic gold medal.[1]

[@jfcg.1692]

Vi, esta película en el 86 y me cautivó. Hace años la busco y al fin la encuentro. Eternas gracias por subirla. Me gustaría compartirla con mi esposo pero no sabe inglés. Alguien sabe dónde se puede ver en español? Gracias.

[@mikekozi-lester3887]

[@erikacarrillo7366]

This miniseries has something of a James Bond connection. Madam Ursula Schumann was played by Honor Blackman who played Bond Girl Pussy Galore in Goldfinger. Baron Pierre de Coubertin was played by Louis Jourdan who played Bond Villain Kamal Khan in "Octopussy".

[@williamdiemert9866]

Angela Lansbury R.I.P

POr que no La SuBen en Español???, SEeria MarRavilloso

[@jordanduncan1866]

Can you please at the bbc show Nancy Astor?🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@beegee1960]

Not sure how much of the “backstories” are true, but I think the winners of the events were reported correctly. Regardless, this is a delightful movie. I especially loved the story of the US National Anthem. I would love to know if it really happed like that.

[@joelwillems4081]

Some of the backstories are true. The National Anthem story is not and neither is the whole getting the Greece late. It's a fun film though. Oh, the American swimmer did far better for real.

[@irondasgr]

@@joelwillems4081 I think that the arriving late thing was a real incident but for another team and maybe for another Olympics.

[@dragongirl2319]

The smug smile that the pianist gives the conductor whenever they play the song gets me every time!

[@ang50]

Very. nice film

[@SCANIA241170]

I like this Film. I need a german Version! Ich mag den Film. Ich brauche eine deutsche Version!

[@nowthatsjustducky]

What is the time stamp where they choose the Star Spangled Banner for the US Anthem?

[@steveaustin2686]

I think that is in part 2, if you didn't find it there.

[@decomposingman]

Max headroom is in this film!

[@22espec]

1:07:00 the woman was faster than them

[@sharolynwells]

When Jamie Connolly says that he's scared of the ocean, I think about talking to my husband about not wsnting to go on a cruise because the movie Jaws made him scared of sharks.

[@josiahellison16]

2:53 it’s murder she wrote

[@patriciasiguas4486]

Subirlo en castellano.

[@joshjhutton]

So that's how the first marathon winner trained. Not for the glory of competition but by the power of the boner.
