Downhill Racer

I've been wanting to watch this early Redford film for awhile. My local indie video store just got in a copy so I'll be renting it this week. I think it's one of those obscure 70's films that may have been considered an over ambitious project by a major studio and probably didn't get good distribution. It looks beautifully shot and you can't go wrong with a film also starring Gene Hackman. I also have a thing for the grace and style of vintage Olympic athleticism(hope that didn't come off weird).
