Overview
British documentary filmmaker and producer Tony Maylam reinvigorated the sports documentary genre with WHITE ROCK, an idiosyncratic and utterly engaging account of the XII Olympic Winter Games Innsbruck 1976. He did so by placing music (by organ and synth wunderkind Rick Wakeman) front and center, and by using Hollywood star James Coburn as a "guide for the uninitiated."
Includes The Games of the V Olympiad Stockholm, 1912, The 1924 Chamonix Olympic Games, The Olympic Games as They Were Practiced in Ancient Greece
