   Nbats, while I love (maybe even prefer) the classic Super 8 look of your link, I should note that the soundtrack is a bit too anachronistic to be the original (even slow motion running to Chariots of Fire is a year too early). I think this is the original, sans the Russian overdubbing, of course.
   
   On the whole, I actually think this one is pretty good. These official Olympic films' primarily interest me as time capsules - snapshots of this intersection of sport, national identities, technology, and fashion over more than a century. The musical and editing choices are certainly atypical for this subgenre, but in context of the just pre-MTV 80s it is pretty apropos. 2 years 8 months ago

   From beginning to end, my jaw was dropped at how AWFUL the music was. I so hate seeing this sort of garbage labeled with the Criterion brand...this Olympic box was possibly their worst idea ever. 5 years 11 months ago
