  Ian Holm is extremely good. But I was not certain through all the years why he could not attend the play, I suppose because he was a professional, you because of his nationality...
  Not quite certain...

    Harold Abrahams was the first British amateur athelete to engage "professional" training, and this was the reason he was not allowed in the Olympic venue. As I recall, his (partial) Arab ancestry is mentioned in the film-he and Abrahams had the shared bond of the outsider.

      It clears thing up!
      Curiously the one scene was cut from the US version ( the one with the indoor criket game ) at the very begining.
      You find it in the " extras ".
      A film that gives me, each time I see it a certain kind of strengh.
      That is what it is all about.
