Teil - Fest der Volker (released in the U.S. as "The Olympiad"), the 1938 Leni Riefenstahl (movie actress who became a director for Hitler and made "Triumph of the Will" and this film) German Olympic sports documentary featuring documentary footage of the Olympic events, which included the top athletes from Germany, but also from the other competing countries, including the black athletes from the U.S., most notably Jesse Owens and Ralph Metcalfe. Adolf Hitler appears in the movie, and there are additional sequences of athletes performing (some in the nude), which were filmed especially for this movie. Note that this documentary on the 1936 Berlin Olympics was so massive that it was released in two parts (the first part was "Olympia Part I: Festival of the Nations", and the second part was "Olympia Part II: Festival of Beauty"; so technically this movie should be referred to as "Festival of the Nations", but because most people know it under the title of "Olympia" or "Olympiad", we refer to it in that way). NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this is a "country of origin" item for this German movie! Also note that we have pictured the front cover, the back cover, and three interior 2-page spreads from this program book. Note that this program contains unclothed women, so we have placed a white bar over those areas, for those who are bothered by such images. Of course, the actual program does not have those white bars! UPDATED 11/29/2010: Note that a collector points out that it is rumored that Leni Riefenstahl herself is one of the nude women in this program. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: very good to fine. The poster has very minor wear on the edge of the spine but is otherwise in nice condition!
