The future star of "Born Free", Bill Trsvets, was a handsome young jactor known for the cleft in his chin and his voice that was reminiscent of Michael York. In the 1950s, he was promoted by the British Cinema as a young romantic hero, and thus appeared in a series of films that are mainly forgotten today. This is a film about a young Scottish man, once the smallest kid in his class, who took a bodybuilding course and ended up an Olympic champion. Fortunately the film just not overdo the have you started accent so it's easy to understand, and there are some very good character performances, particularly by Alastair Sim as a cantankerous neighbor of Travers who was obsessed with a certain breed of hawk who tells him has been responsible for the deaths of chickens on the farms.
Travers keeps in communication with the founder of a bodybuilding mail in course for years, finally meeting him and entering the Olympic competition. Doris Goddard is his longtime girlfriend, a relationship interrupted when Travelers goes off to the Melbourne Olympics and meets the Swedish discus champion Norah Gorsen. She's the one flawed element about the film, for voice laughable at times almost sounding like a cartoon character. This is the only sports film that I know that deals with hammer throwing, an interesting sport that often has Travers throwing a bit too hard and the wrong way, nearly smashing people with it. A sweet film with a good heart, it seems almost like something that Disney might have made.
