Slightly above average Olympics documentary

There are a few Olympics documentaries that are the gold standard for the genre (notably Olympiad and Tokyo Olympiad.) And there are some that are just adequate, being nothing more than just filmed recordings of the events. White Vertigo, the documentary about the 1956 Winter Olympics held in Cortina d'Ampezzo Italy, falls solidly between those two camps. The color cinematography is flat out gorgeous and the movie takes some interesting looks behind the scenes. But the coverage itself is fairly rote with little suspense generated--with the exception of the downhill ski racing event near the end of the movie, which is expertly handled. In short, there is little reason to seek this movie out, but if it presented to you, there is no reason not to watch it either.

Curiosidades
The first Winter Olympics to be televised internationally, and the first to rely on the majority of its funding from corporate sponsorship.

Citações
Narrator: The skiers of the slalom race study the course from the bottom up. The American, Lawrence, the graceful Swiss Colliard. There's room for everyone in Cortina. Even for Sophia Loren. But the fans are not distracted. They are here to watch the thrilling Olympic competitions, and openly admire the athletes, who are carefully evaluating the challenges of the course.
