Glenn Morris
Oyuncu · 1912 – 1974
Glenn Morris was the fourth Olympic athlete to play Tarzan. He was the 1936 decathlon champion and won the Sullivan Award (outstanding amateur athlete of the year) over the more famous Olympian Jesse Owens. Sol Lesser cast Morris for an independent Tarzan, filmed on Twentieth Century-Fox back lots. The reviews were so thoroughly bad that Morris never made another movie. He went into the insurance business in Los Angeles. He enlisted in the Navy after Pearl Harbor, was wounded in combat from which he spent much time in San Francisco's Navy Hospital.

Film6.7BelgeselBerlin Olimpiyatları üzerine uzun metrajlı bir film yaratması için 1936 Olimpiyat Komitesi tarafından görevlendirildikten sonra Riefenstahl, hareket halindeki vücutların şiirselliği ile koşu yarışındaki atletlerin yakın plan çekimlerini birleştirerekinsan vücudunu öven bir belgesel çekmiştir. Yapım genç erkek bedenini göklere cikarmakta ve, bazılarına göre, atletik hünere yönelik Nazi bakış açısını ifade etmektedir. Riefenstahl, çim hokeyi, futbol, bisiklete binme, binicilik, su sporları ve jimnastik sporları yarışları sırasındaki atletlerin erdemlerini sunmaktadır. Hatırda kalıcı sahneler Amerikan Glenn Morris tarafından kazanılmış Pentatlon ve Dekatlon’dur. Film oyunların kapanış coşkusuyla sona erer.
