My father was Harold Thompson Mann, the backstroker in the I.M.medley. (1:15:08) I recently discovered this priceless footage, and was both overjoyed and overwhelmed. He was the kindest man you could ever meet or know, always a smile on his face and always in a good mood. He went on to practice internal medicine as a physician in Richmond, Virginia where I grew up. Years later I am now in San Francisco working in a profession I’ve been in since graduating college. (I’m 39) I owe so much to him for the inspiration, determination and kindness needed to succeed in life. He passed away several years back in Massachusetts, where he moved to retire but could never shake the love of practicing medicine. He worked shifts up until his leaving at age 76. Seeing this brings both tears and a smile, I’m not sad, but rather nostalgic for growing up with an amazing person who told my twin brother and I we could do anything we put our minds to. While of course there are limitations on that mantra, it was a good one to live by. Thank you to the uploader, for allowing me to both see and remember my father Harold Mann in this deeply meaningful way. ~ James Mann
I was a young backstroke swimmer in the sixties. I remember your father being the first swimmer under 60 secs . He did it in a relay 1960 Olympics Rome. I have his photograph in my Guinness book of records 1964. Famous athlete in those days.
This is a very important sports documentary movie, and arguably one of the best sports films of all time. The first time slow motion close-ups of athletes had been used, the director Kon Ichikawa focuses much more on the atmosphere and drama of the games, the human side of the athletes and the spectators, rather than merely on the results or the winners . This movie broke new ground in the filming of sports events and it set filming standards that we now take for granted, with many beautiful and atmospheric shots. Interestingly,. the world famous film director Akira Kurosawa was originally hired by the Japanese government to direct this movie, but when he demanded total artistic control over the opening and closing Olympic ceremonies, he was dismissed and Ichikawa was appointed as director in his place.
@@zargonthemagnificent330 I want to see the full action of the performance not just a tight slow motion zoom in on their face or other body part. He doesn't even show the winner often times.
I have watched parts of this over and over. It shows sport in all its transcendence - physical, spiritual and emotional. This documentary defies description. Nothing else like it.
"....when the Olympics was reserved for honest amateurs." There's no such thing as an "honest amateur" in totalitarian states such as the Soviet Union (or the People's Republic of China). They were slave athletes who trained full time and had everything provided to them by the State. But, I agree, it is a beautiful film.
Olympic ideals made sense in those days. They were all amateur athlets competing peacefully for their countries and to prove themselves. No sporting brands on their uniforms whatsoever. The barefoot gold medalist Abebe Bikila, the united German team, Americans with their shades and cowboy hats followed by smiling Soviet Union athlets waving their red handkerchiefs at the height of the Cold War. And last but not least, the Japanese finally overcoming the scars of the tragic war. Kon Ichikawa in his well-known greatness and talent, captured it all. This is pure art, pure cinema.
+Sonia A. The 1964 and 1980 Olympics are my favourites, but in both Olympics there were political issues the first one was GANEFO and second was America and some of its allies boycotted their attendance, its a real shame but at least Asia, the third wold and the second world got along. Only the western first world acted like spoiled brats, a real shame but these games were amazing non the less.
@ Sonia A. Totally agree about the art facet of the film. Certain images from it have stayed with me to this day. I remember the close-up of an umbrella dripping with rain...
This is awesome! Love the vintage footage of the torch being carried through all the cities and the athletes walking onto the field. Thank you, Olympic channel for these films, they are terrific.
Rosie Bonds Kreidler (born July 7, 1944) competed in the 1964 Summer Olympics for the United States in the Women's 80 metre hurdles. She finished in 1st place in the fourth heat of the first round (10.6 seconds), in 4th place in the first semifinal (10.8 seconds), and in 8th place in the final race (10.8 seconds) after crashing the second hurdle. After retiring from athletics two years later, she started a career in nursing. She is the sister of Bobby Bonds and the aunt of Barry Bonds, Ricky Bonds and Bobby Bonds Jr.. In 2002, the automobile in which she was traveling was rammed by a tractor-trailer, breaking her neck, back and ribs. The injury prevented her from continuing her work as a nurse. When her insurance stopped paying for physical therapy in 2005, Kreidler lived in her car and in the St. Mary's Center homeless shelter. She said she was too proud to ask family members for help. She then became an advocate for better care for seniors in Alameda County. source: the wiki.
Incredible to watch this artistically-produced encapsulation of the drama of human competition. Poignant close-ups. Fascinating slow-motion. Humorous pieces. I saw inspiration here for directors who won academy awards. Food for the soul here in 2020 America.
The local Games organization even made a shorter version of the film, but it was Ichikawa's original cut that became a hallmark of cinema and his career - for "Tokyo Olympics" he won a Bafta, the British Oscar, another highlight in a career that, before, had already been marked by the Cannes jury prize for "Kagi". The documentary was also, for decades, a box office record in the country.
Beautiful, poetic Olympic film. The glory of sport and peaceful competition, the physical and spiritual achievement, especially the grueling Marathon imagery. The film's final five minutes moved me to tears. Where are they now, those happy young men and women, coming together in brotherhood at the closing ceremony? ...and the fire returns to the Sun...for men may dream like this but once in four years...
As a kid I remember saving my allowance to purchase a small B&W TV to wake up early enough to watch this Olympics everyday of broadcast. So beautiful. No showboating by the sprinters like today.
Love this film!! So much different from just watching the Games in action live, like any other sport. Gives me a whole new appreciation for the Games. History captured and played back so beautifully. Now when i'm there in 2020 i will pay attention to the little things, how so many people from all over the world mingle and mix, the spectators and their cheers, the routines the athletes go through before going at it. I can't think of that many but this film captured it all so well.
Abebe Bakila was a truly amazing runner winning 12 gold medals in competiton, 2 of those from the 1960 and 1964 Olympics. Sadly 5 years later he became a quadrapeligic in a rollover car accident. He would die in 1973.
I saw that film on its first release in Cairo, at the cinema Opera. My father, a veteran rowing athlete, took me to see it. I absolutely loved it and loved the Olympics ever since. I believe the camera style was also very advanced for the day. It's very interesting to watch it now and note the differences in almost every aspect of the Games.
ولی ۲۶۰ هزار نفر زنده زنده سوختند و خفه شدند بدترین مرگ ممکن و جنایتکارترین اتفاق تمام طول تاریخ بشریت قبل از اینکار آمریکا کشور ها از استفاده از این بمب وحشت داشتند و آمریکا با این جنایت جهان را در خطر بزرگی قرار داد
A feature of this award-winning film, and that caught the attention, was that the 100 cameramen involved in the filming turned their cameras to the backstage of the Games, disqualified athletes, and volunteers who were always invisible, something rarely seen on TV broadcasts - these Olympics, in fact, they were the first to be televised around the world.
Thankyou Olympic History RUclips Channel - This is listed on the "1001 Movies to See before You Die" book but in order to get a copy it would have been around £200 for a DVD!
Tokyo 2020. Can't wait, the Olympics returns to Japan after 56 years. and some of these old venues will be reused for the 2020 Games. See You in Tokyo!!

I never realized the awful conditions many of the athletes had to contend with at Olympic Stadium. As a former long jumper, for three men to long jump 8 meters in a swamp is almost as impressive to me as Beamon jumping nearly 9 meters at altitude.
We just saw the fastest 100 meters of all time,run by Bob Hayes,anchoring the 4 by 100 meter relay,timed at 8.6 seconds for his anchor leg on a moist dirt track.Even so the experts calculate this time to a 9.5 100 meters from a standing start,Hayes ran as fast as needbe to win.He had won 49 consecutive sprints coming into the Tokyo games,60 yds.100yds.100 meters,& won every race at Tokyo,100 meter dash gold,4 by 100 meter,gold.The fastest man ever to live.
Я из России и хочу сказать, что даже первые кадры начала открытия олимпиады в Японии выглядят дороже и осмысленнее, чем вся теперешняя Олимпиада во Франции. Японцы ❤ вы молодцы, я надеюсь, что вы остались такими же как и на момент этой олимпиады. Я желаю вам, чтобы вы оставались такими же и не деградировать как этой случилось с современной Европой. 私はロシア出身ですが、日本でのオリンピックの開幕の最初の映像でさえ、現在のフランスでのオリンピック全体よりも高価で意味のあるものに見えると言いたいです。日本人、君は素晴らしい、このオリンピックの時と変わらずに君がいてくれることを願っている。私はあなたが願っています それは同じままで、現代のヨーロッパで起こったように劣化しませんでした。 I am from Russia and I want to say that even the first footage of the opening of the Olympics in Japan looks more expensive and meaningful than the entire current Olympics in France. Japanese,❤ you are great, I hope that you have remained the same as at the time of this Olympics. I wish you remained the same and did not degrade as it happened to modern Europe.
Those marathon athletes, I am crying while seeing their foots after finished... Can you imagine??? In 1964, when their shoes is not so comfortable like what we have now....??? Respect to the athletes from the past....!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 And "SAYONARA" in the end, that was amazing... so touching... I believe Tokyo 1964 is the start point for Japan to be an amazing host for tourism after this event... Good job Japan, see you soon in 2021....!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 Love from Indonesia....
I'm originally from Bulgaria. I was real happy with we got a mention in this video. Bulgaria must have been favored to win a lot of medals in 1964. It's amazing how the opening ceremony in general has turned quite into the spectacle today, compared to the 1964 ceremony. No showman ship. just the intros to all countries participating in the games.
This is the unrestored print, which is full of digital noise and audio artefacts. Criterion will release the 2K restoration, as part of a boxed set, in the next few days.
Yeah, I was randomly watching videos on RUclips and noticed this was on the Olympics channel (considering it was out of print for a long time). Criterion recently released a big bluray box set of all the films and I'm sure their version will look so much better!
And I'd wondered if National Olympic Committees would give that print to anyone who asked, like from a sporting organisation or a library or institutional loan?
They had so much class back then. This is truly awe inducing. When they are hammering at the starting blocks for the sprints the ambience and music reminds me of Chariots of Fire. I wonder if they were influenced by this film of Tokyo. I wish the human race would reach the goal of the spirit of the Olympics of all nations coming together peaceably to aspire to and reach the human potential.
Oscar Moore ran in the 10,000 what place did he finish..he was my college coach at Glassboro St. in 1973-74. along Bill Fritz...two of the finest men I ever meet.
1896 Athens, 1900 Paris, 1908 London, 1912 Stockholm, 1916 Berlin was canceled from World War I. 1920 Antwerp, 1924 Paris, 1928 Amsterdam, 1932 Los Angeles & 1936 Berlin, 1940 Tokyo & 1944 London has been canceled from World War II. 1948 London, 1952 Helsinki, 1956 Melbourne, 1960 Rome & 1964 Tokyo.
This year they are going to hold the Olympic Games in Tokyo after 56 years' absence. Not a few Japanese will watch Tokyo Olympic Games two times in their lives.
What a great movie! Many interesting and rare scenes, for example the DC-6 and B707 shots. And nice to see the old Imperial Family in almost HD and coloured. Akihito (I didn't know he wore glasses) and Prince Hitachi are so young! :D
Amazing movie. So touching. Scenes of grandeur - the flame passing majestic Mt Fuji, and winding through scenic terraced hills. Lightheartedness of locals viewing the flame as it passes through their countries. Heartrendering to see that shell of a building in Hiroshima. Interesting closeups of varied faces. Delightful vignettes of emotions & incidents - the young boy frightened by the roar of canons, athletes ducking to avoid pigeons. Brilliant movie. Absolutely fascinating. And, riveting.
This was only 20 years since WW2. To my knowledge, there were no bad incidents, no athlete using the Games to stage a political platform, no boycotts, etc.
This is NOT the full version of Kon Ichikawa's classic 1965 documentary TOKYO OLYMPIAD. That version runs 170 minutes, almost 3 hours. This is an edited version running 125 minutes, with English titles and narration.
I'm proud of Mr. Karananda too. I watch the clip of his inspiring participation in the race several times. I shared his story with my daughter and now she too is a fan.
25:20 The fastest man in history: Bullet Bob Hayes (Witness his final leg in the 4x100 meters relay, THE fastest leg ever run 8.55 for the 100 meters!!

映画監督、市川昆さんが撮ると
こんな映像になるのか、、
人体の動きや息遣いを近くに感じるようでとても美しい。
girisha
マラソンの選手の足の裏を初めて見た、今の選手はフラフラでももっとへとへとで失神したりするのだけど、、足の裏は運動靴の進化でこんなにはなってないのだろうか。
市川崑さんは両親の先輩世代の方で、戦後、中心になる方達の映像と違い、国家観や国際観に人類史への敬意を感じさせてくれ、本当にホッとします。各国の選手のお顔も、それぞれの国民らしく、自分たちと違う人類史を持った人たちに拍手を送る気持ちがわかる。。今は，選手たちが主役で有頂天になってるけれど、この時代、選手は観客からの期待や支援を感じて精一杯，頑張ってくれてたことに感謝します。
I have watched parts of this over and over. It shows sport in all its transcendence - physical, spiritual and emotional. This documentary defies description. Nothing else like it.
私の母は円谷選手に電車の中であった時のことをいつも話してくれました。姑と喧嘩し電車で泣いてるとき心配そうに何度も顔を見る人がいた、それが円谷選手だったし、そういう優しい心の持ち主だったと。謹んでご冥福をお祈り申し上げます。
当時、円谷選手を歌ったレコードを父が買ってきて、聞かせてくれた。
アベベ選手が裸足で勝ったこと、今のザンビアが開会時には英領ローデシアとして、閉会式の日に、ザンビアとして新たな国旗とプラカードで行進、、
なんだかここ数十年間のオリンピックと違い、マラソンの選手も、人として一生懸命、途中で歩きだす人もいるけど、、l昨今は、フラフラで自室するみたいな状態で、、この当時のオリンピックって、良いなあ。。と改めて思う。。
This the best quality video from 1964 I’ve ever seen
Godzilla maybe?
I got goosebumps watching this! What a beautiful film from a time when the Olympics was reserved for honest amateurs. Thank you for sharing!
Perfectly put. I think the hair on my arms was standing up....ha ha ha. This film is just so special.
And what makes the competitors of today 'dis-honest'?
History teaches re calibrates us.
"....when the Olympics was reserved for honest amateurs."
There's no such thing as an "honest amateur" in totalitarian states such as the Soviet Union (or the People's Republic of China). They were slave athletes who trained full time and had everything provided to them by the State.
But, I agree, it is a beautiful film.
I started crying during the parade of nations. Reminded me so much of when nations mattered and their wasn’t so much globalization
Olympic ideals made sense in those days. They were all amateur athlets competing peacefully for their countries and to prove themselves. No sporting brands on their uniforms whatsoever. The barefoot gold medalist Abebe Bikila, the united German team, Americans with their shades and cowboy hats followed by smiling Soviet Union athlets waving their red handkerchiefs at the height of the Cold War. And last but not least, the Japanese finally overcoming the scars of the tragic war. Kon Ichikawa in his well-known greatness and talent, captured it all. This is pure art, pure cinema.

If you closely during the setup of the 100 meter the shoe is made by adidas.
@ Sonia A. Totally agree about the art facet of the film. Certain images from it have stayed with me to this day. I remember the close-up of an umbrella dripping with rain...
Yes.
But I don't think the athlets were paid for that.

THE greatest marathon runner ever. RIP, Mr. Bikila...
Yeah,what a shame

聖火台へのランナーがこの映像では西欧の男性のようになってますが、当時、東京オリンピックというので、急にテレビが普及して、聖火台まで走る選手が練習されてるのがニュースに入ってたけど、、日本人らしい体格の選手でした。階段の途中、足取りが止まってしまわないよう、大変、訓練されたニュースでしたが、、どうして？ここでは変わってるんだとう？
このオリンピックで日本人の体格の貧弱さは明らかで、外国の人は肉食だから，あんなにも大きんだ，と話題になりました。
今のオリンピックの開会式もいいけど、こっちの方が真のスポーツ大会の開会式って感じでいいな
選手の表情もスポーツマンっらしくって。宣誓は子供の頃，小学校でも運動会の時に真似てしてましたよ。
互いが国際平和の使徒として，それぞれの国への敬意や失礼はないし。。本当に清しい。。お顔もグローバル化もクローンやDNA術も酷くないから、懐かしいそれぞれの国の人のお顔がなつかしい。。

Congratulations, East Asia!
ロゴがとんでもなくかっこいい。
当時の日本は外国の人をあまり見たことがなかったからね、今と違う価値観があるんだね
Those marathon athletes, I am crying while seeing their foots after finished... Can you imagine??? In 1964, when their shoes is not so comfortable like what we have now....??? Respect to the athletes from the past....!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
And "SAYONARA" in the end, that was amazing... so touching... I believe Tokyo 1964 is the start point for Japan to be an amazing host for tourism after this event...
Good job Japan, see you soon in 2021....!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 Love from Indonesia....
I'm originally from Bulgaria. I was real happy with we got a mention in this video. Bulgaria must have been favored to win a lot of medals in 1964. It's amazing how the opening ceremony in general has turned quite into the spectacle today, compared to the 1964 ceremony. No showman ship. just the intros to all countries participating in the games.
小学２年生だった、ゴロゴロ道の聖火ランナーに日の丸降っていた記憶あり、周りは見事な田んぼだらけだった、牛がいた
本当は1940年に東京五輪が開催される予定だったけど、第二次世界大戦とか日中戦争とかで中止になったんだよね
This is the unrestored print, which is full of digital noise and audio artefacts. Criterion will release the 2K restoration, as part of a boxed set, in the next few days.
Yeah, I was randomly watching videos on RUclips and noticed this was on the Olympics channel (considering it was out of print for a long time). Criterion recently released a big bluray box set of all the films and I'm sure their version will look so much better!
And I'd wondered if National Olympic Committees would give that print to anyone who asked, like from a sporting organisation or a library or institutional loan?
The foley art is hilarious, I love it! Especially the smoldering feet on the high and long jump.
2:00:11 Zambia actually became independent that day!! They started the games as Northern Rhodesia
Slightly different from my DVD.
2020 is getting closer. Can't wait.
It's nice to see no visible tattoos on athletes at that time and the movements & routines of the gymnasts back then were so graceful.
so cool that in less than 3 yrs the games will be back in Tokyo Japan for the summer 2020 games!
貴重すぎる映像ですありがとうございます
Six months away from Tokyo 2021 I'm so pumped
Tokyo 2020
56 years later the games will be in this location of the video!!
Tokyo 2020!!!!!!!
Games of the XXXII Olympiad
Jack Winton : Yes, and I heard that Billy Mills is back to defend his 10,000 meter title.
They had so much class back then. This is truly awe inducing. When they are hammering at the starting blocks for the sprints the ambience and music reminds me of Chariots of Fire. I wonder if they were influenced by this film of Tokyo. I wish the human race would reach the goal of the spirit of the Olympics of all nations coming together peaceably to aspire to and reach the human potential.
Oscar Moore ran in the 10,000 what place did he finish..he was my college coach at Glassboro St. in 1973-74. along Bill Fritz...two of the finest men I ever meet.
Wow
Here we go for Tokyo 2020! 🎱🎳⚾⛳🎾⚽🏀
Yeah, come on! 🎌🗾🗼
Complete masterpiece. Can we ever get back to a world where art and passion drive our endeavors rather than quarterly profits and "brand building"?
It's better than 2020 Olympic opening ceremony . 2020 Olympic ceremony like a country's funeral！！！

能圓坊龍現 make 57 see you in 2021
Fantastic document. Congratulations.
昭和15年、東京で開催される筈だったオリンピックが戦争により中止となり、その24年後の昭和39年に開かれることになりました。戦後の高度経済成長を象徴する一大イベントだったと聞いております。2020年の東京オリンピックが楽しみです。
I CAN'T WAIT TO OLYMPIC TOKYO 2020!!!
12:37 they used the same music for the closing ceremony for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics
Parade of nations was so formal back then
As were the spectators in the stands. ♥️ In their Sunday best, almost. 🤍
This is one of the great documentary films of all time.
What a great movie! Many interesting and rare scenes, for example the DC-6 and B707 shots. And nice to see the old Imperial Family in almost HD and coloured. Akihito (I didn't know he wore glasses) and Prince Hitachi are so young! :D
I think you're talking about their uncle, because he wore glasses while he was alive, and their aunt is still alive in her 90s
wonderful show! loved the JSDF making the olympic rings!
Amazing movie. So touching. Scenes of grandeur - the flame passing majestic Mt Fuji, and winding through scenic terraced hills. Lightheartedness of locals viewing the flame as it passes through their countries. Heartrendering to see that shell of a building in Hiroshima. Interesting closeups of varied faces. Delightful vignettes of emotions & incidents - the young boy frightened by the roar of canons, athletes ducking to avoid pigeons.
Brilliant movie. Absolutely fascinating. And, riveting.
50:04 Here comes Billy Mills!!! His Epic come from behind victory in the Men's 10,000 Meter!
This was only 20 years since WW2. To my knowledge, there were no bad incidents, no athlete using the Games to stage a political platform, no boycotts, etc.
2020年のオリンピックは、現在世界中のアスリートによって行われています。
This is NOT the full version of Kon Ichikawa's classic 1965 documentary TOKYO OLYMPIAD. That version runs 170 minutes,
almost 3 hours. This is an edited version running 125 minutes, with English titles and narration.

Congratulations Japan. You've got the honor of being a develed country since then. 24 years later, my country tries the same thing.
However, another trial simce to be unsuccessful.
See you in A.D. 2020 (NÉO)TOKYO ! ☝😆
See you in 2021
50:38 Proud of Karunarathne as a fellow Sri Lankan and at the same time ashamed about how my country treated him and his family after his death. 😔❤
I'm proud of Mr. Karananda too. I watch the clip of his inspiring participation in the race several times. I shared his story with my daughter and now she too is a fan.
We missed the entrance of Brazil at the Opening Ceremony, and we will also show nothing of the basketball game that owes us a bronze medal.
25:20 The fastest man in history: Bullet Bob Hayes (Witness his final leg in the 4x100 meters relay, THE fastest leg ever run 8.55 for the 100 meters!!

You gotta love this girl at 1:00:34 Ikuko Yoda, she was something else. God bless her soul
