Jesse Owens and Babe Didrickson are just two of the athletes featured in this 1981, 28-minute VHS tape that was previously released as a 16 mm movie. Red Smith narrates this film as viewers are introduced to some of America's great athletes through interviews and action footage. Surprisingly, Philip Morris Inc. (best known for making cigarettes) teamed with Dick Young Productions to make this film possible.
