 The film was released in two parts: "Olympia 1.
 Teil — Fest der Völker" (Festival of Nations) and "Olympia 2.
 Teil — Fest der Schönheit" (Festival of Beauty).
 It was the first documentary feature film of the Olympic Games ever made.
 Many advanced motion picture techniques, which later became industry standards but which were groundbreaking at the time, were employed —including unusual camera angles, smash cuts, extreme close-ups, placing tracking shot rails within the bleachers, and the like.
