was the actor. Something like The Last Mile or the The Lonely Mile?

Another good movie was Four Minute Mile. See
http://us.imdb.com/Title?0095171 for more information. There was even a
querky Cerutty character in this production.
Much better was Roger Bannister's own book, The Four Minute Mile. Go to
amazon.com for a description.

Thanks for all the help I got in remembering the name of the
novel/movie The Games. I noticed that most responders agreed that
it was pretty bad, both in written and film form, which got me
curious -- can anyone think of any truly good track field movies or
books?

I read Once a Runner every year to start the season. Chariots of Fire
is an obvious choice for pretty good. I too enjoy Running Brave. Another
sleeper would be The Jericho Mile about a prison runner.

wasn't there a movie about a convict who runs a sub 4-minute mile time-trial in
jail, and then throws his spikes over the fence (i.e. the
freedom side) as the final scene? I think it was the late 70's-early
80's?
The Jericho Mile

Jericho Mile-1979. Strauss starred-Mann directed-pre Heat, Thief,
Manhunter(the first Hannibal Lector movie) and of course Miami Vice. Great
movie. The strains of Sympathy to the Devil can easily get you out the

If you want to browse through all the running books and movies I have
compiled, here's the link on Run-Down:

Click on Details for any you are interested in and it will show you Amazon
user reviews (just added yesterday) and other somewhat pertinent info.
My quick reviews . . .
Books:
Once a Runner - Fantastic
Running with the Buffalos - Interesting
Pre! - Great
Forgot the title - But a really good book about Olympic marathoner Buddy
Elden (I know that is not the proper name, but something like that)
Carl Lewis's book - diary of the year
If I am not mistaken, the movie that you remember is about a University of New Mexico
miler by the name
of Baker.
