Movie
Downhill Racer
Synopsis
Character study of an obsessive athlete, with plenty of action on the slopes. When one of America's top skiing racers is hurt, the US Olympic team coach sends for two replacements. One of them is a loner who is doggedly determined to gain the glory on offer at the Winter Olympics, regardless of the cost. Robert Redford did a lot of his own skiing, much to the consternation of the studio, When one of America's top skiing racers is hurt, the US Olympic team coach sends for two replacements. One of them, Chappellet, is a loner who is doggedly determined to gain the glory on offer at the Winter Olympics, regardless of the cost.

Gene Hackman, Camilla Sparv, Jim McMullan. D.K.: Kenneth Kirk. Mayo: Dabney Coleman. Machet: Karl Michael Vogler. Tommy: Joe Jay Albert. Directed by Michael Ritchie.
