The one from germanwarfilms.com is my favorite.It does not have all the extra stuff but I like the way it was put together ,so simple with a good film transfer .You feel the films essence in this one. It has English Subtitles. The Art Haus film quality is a 10 and this one a 7 and the Pathfinder a 5.
I like the Pathfinder version though for the many additional film clips such as some winter olympic footage ,boxing and fencing . It shows Hitler in the snow and has other clips that are not in any of the other ones. Has footage of thousands of athletes exercising at the same time.It has women doing exercises with what looks like bowling pins. It also has English subtitles.Best complete footage ,worst transfer . But I recommend them all . I watch all 3 from time to time to see the different features.
My Grandfather was 34 years old when this film was made and I can see the honesty and innocence of his generation. Everyone at the events wore suites and ties and the ladys wore dresses. There was no corporate sponsers advertisements in your face and no nike swimsuits. They put a wreath around their heads and the Lady athletes got a tree plant presented to them no doubt to take home and plant to grow and remember the event for years to come . All the boats were identical in the race and so was the bicycles . You had to be the better athlete to win in those days not a better boat or bicycle builder getting the advantage on lighter materials.
So nice to watch , and so nice of them to salute the beauty of the youth of our world at that time. Enjoy !
By the way, I was there in Berlin at the time. a ten-year-old, and we boys knew "them" all., and everybody shared the excitement of the Games. Today, some call it a propaganda-film. I do not think it was. It refelcted exactly what was happening at the time. It is a sports film.. It is a fair presentation of what was happening at the games.
It is a beautiful film. I remember Jessi Owens and his German comptetitor Lutz Long, I remember the decathelon, and that never ending pole-vault till late into the night. I remember "Morris USA". The American sprinters, the relays.
We loved every minute of those two weeks. Had to read it in the paper or listen to the excitement on the radio. And have seen it on film now.
I thought the opening sequence of the girls dancing was a little stretched. which is my only negative comment to the film if that is "negative". It was beautiful, just a liitle too long.
I believe it was the first time, in 1936, that the torch was carried from Olympia in a relay through all the countries on its way to Berlin A sensation throughout Europe.
I really recommend the film for viewing to everybody who is interested in sports, the Olympic Games, and those times. It is an outstanding film for its time, in every of its detail.
By the way, I saw an American version of the film which showed Adolf Hitler geting all worked up when Jessie Owens ran his 10 sec. He did not. That shot was inserted. That was the actual scene with Adolf Hitler when the German relay girls, for the first time in history ahead of the US team, lost the baton at the last exchange.
My review? My recommendation! A beautiful film indeed, but remember it was made 76 years ago.
