Great movie...what were you watching?

Rating: Null/10 (22 September 1999)

Frankly, I am a little mystified that so many of the 'user comments' for this movie are negative. I found the movie to be beautiful, fascinating and always very interesting. You do not have to be a runner or even a sports fan to appreciate the movie, you just have to have a heart. I enjoyed this movie a lot and was thrilled when Loretta Young announced it won Best Picture for 1981, over the dreary "Reds", the overblown "On Golden Pond" and the over-rated "Raiders of the Lost Ark".
