XIVth Olympiad: The Glory of Sport (1948)

Documentary showing the London Olympics in 1948. The Brazilian TV showed a cut version (101 minutes out of 136), thus the narration gets incomprehensible when it mentions Switzerland, all the footage of which was cut. The film is not distinctive in any formal aspect, but otherwise it's fascinating to see women athletes who look like... uh, women. As for the rest of it, the user review (there is only one as of this moment) on the Internet Movie Database is pretty accurate.
