RENDEZVOUS IN MELBOURNE
(CSA Film Production) G Cert. HIS official record of the 1956 Olympics, made by a French group, is the third Olympic film I’ve seen, and the least exciting. Perhaps I expect too much, but I should have thought that a French team would have shown a little more psychological insight and avoided koala bears, kangaroos and commonplace folksiness-and the air of patronising the Melbourne provincials. If you are interested in track and field events, this is a fair record. Delaney’s run is exciting and the amazing Vladimir Kuts gets a fair trot, too, in his two record-breaking runs. Pole-vaulters, discus-tossers, high-
jumpers and the like are well served. But not swimmers or divers, fencers or gymnasts, yachtsmen or boxers, orf wrestlers, or football players, or walkers (or New Zealanders). Bad show, what?
