It Happens To Be Awesome!

I love this movie! Jayne has a supporting role but gets top billing and is playing against type. Jayne plays a self absorbed stage actress and is a little villainous. I think it was meant to be a vehicle for introducing Trax Colton to the movies and they needed a big star to carry the movie, so they put Jayne in. Jayne looks mesmerizing in this film. I wish Fox would put it on an official DVD, though they do show it on the Fox Movie Channel sometimes. Trax plays a Greek shepherd boy trying to enter the first Olympics. Jayne plays a glamorous stage actress who promises to marry one of the winners of one of the games. Jayne's acting is inspired and even though she has a supporting role, she is the one you will be watching the film for. This movie has a reputation of being one of Jayne's 'loan out' film roles for Fox, but in fact this was a major motion picture big budget movie filmed in 1960 and was made in Cinemascope.

A light hearted comedy set at the first Olympics

This is a frivolous light hearted comedy about about Greek farm boy, Trax Colton, who decides to enter the first Olympics in 1896. The movie follows his struggles through to his success. It's amusing to watch the primitive conditions athletes competed under back then, and the lack of formality. Real-life Olympic hero Bob Mathias plays the American captain. A real attraction is Jayne Mansfield, who as a beauty promises to marry the winner of the marathon. She appears in a number of skimpy, revealing costumes, trying to tempt the virtuous Colton, to humorous effect.

historic monument

It might not be a great movie, however it has huge merits as documentary since its depiction of historical Athens is great. It seems that it was indeed shot within the historical monuments that you can now only see from meters away, while the surroundings of the Acropolis - without today's cement pollution and road traffic -keep their entire aesthetic value. A couple of great greek actors are also included. Main american character is convincing, I feel he deserved a long success in film industry but he has strangely made only a couple of films

Pretty bad

Awhile ago FMC was showing this film a lot, so I had an opportunity to watch it.

I found it rather difficult to watch this film all the way through. The acting was uninspired, the story was weak, and overall it just dragged.There were moments that were intended to be humorous that just fell flat. The actors don't seem interested in giving there all here for the most part. Maria Xenia makes some effort, but given the weak script there is little she could do.

I do think that it could have been interesting had there been a little more focus on the Olympics aspect and less on Mansfield's character attempting to seduce Colton's character. The seduction falls flat on screen. And it seems the actors are just embarrassing themselves.

A story about the 1890 Olympic games in Athens, Greece.

Even though Brad Harris is listed as being in the cast, he told me that he missed the start of the filming due to prior commitments. He just couldn't make it on time. Many reference books list him in the cast but he is NOT in the movie. Also, Mickey Hargitay was there at the time, with Jayne Mansfield, but wasn't used in the production. Larry Anderson, Canada.

Mickey Hargitay Jr.: "Miklos", Jayne Mansfield's 23-month-old son, at the beginning of the film as the little boy who throws food across the table.

Erros de gravação
Though the film is set at the time of the first modern Olympic Games at the dawn of the 20th Century, from far away it is noticeable that the people in the crowd are from the 1960s as they're wearing 1960s fashions.

Citações
Spiridon Loues: Father, I want to go to Athens tonight and I need a little money. I ran into old Cristos, and he tells me that Greece are having the Olympic Games again. They begin tomorrow and if I start tonight I can be in Athens in time.
Father Loues: What for?
Spiridon Loues: I want to take part. I want to run.
Father Loues: You? You want to run? In the Olympic Games?
Spiridon Loues: What do you look at me like that for? You know I can outrun anybody in the village.
Father Loues: So you can outrun anyone in our village, you are the fastest in Marousi. So what?
Spiridon Loues: Look, I'll need very little money, Father, and I'll pay you back every cent.
Father Loues: What makes you think, they'll let you run? And if they do, then what? What chance have you against those great athletes?
Father Loues: [to his wife] You know the trouble with him? He's a dreamer.
Spiridon Loues: What's wrong with that? A man must have dreams. Out in the meadows, I think what is the difference between me and my sheep? Not much, Father. We stand in the hot sun from daybreak until dusk. Then we come home and sleep. Day after day. The difference between a man and his animal is that a man has dreams. And I want my dreams to come true. Please, Father, can I have the money?
Father Loues: No! Now let me eat my soup in peace.
