Who knows a good sports movie? There are the “usual suspects” - “Field of Dreams” with Kevin Costner, amongst others - but the problem with most of them is that they’re not really about the sports. They’re about something else, in many cases leadership. As in: new coach arrives to revive a demoralised team. You’ve seen that movie. This film, Robert Towne’s “Personal Best” (1982), has none of these flaws. His movie IS about the lives of athletes - how they train, compete, relate to each other on and off the track, suffer injuries that ruin their chances etc. Mariel Hemingway (@marielhemingway), the girl you know because she acted opposite Woody Allen in “Manhattan”, is fit enough to play the pentathlete who tries to get selected for the American Olympics team. The movie was written and directed by Robert Towne. Movie buffs recognise his name instantly: he wrote “Chinatown”, Roman Polanski’s masterpiece! All the more tragic that this film is totally forgotten: I had to order a Spanish edition to even find it on DVD… #roberttowne #marielhemingway #hemingway #scottglenn #sport #sports #athlete #athletics #athletes #pentathlon #olympics #sportswomen #sportswoman #movie #movies #film #films #dvd #dvdcollection #dvdcollector #dvds #sportsmovie #sportsmovies @marielhemingway https://www.instagram.com/p/CPyNoYPDFSN/?utm_medium=tumblr
