RIP my old teammate Len Mullen ( a 1:53 800m runner). He appears mid screen at 22 secs and in a masterly piece of pacing stays there just behind the stars for 20 seconds. His friend Graham Brooke apears on his shoulder at the end

Many years afterwards I said to him he looked out of breath, his reply 'I was acting'

This is one of the best pieces of film music ever and should be played at some stage of the london olympic ceremonies.

@pinz2022 Yes thanks, but his character never truly existed.

Nigel Havers' character was my favorite.  It's all there in that scene. He wasn't in it for God, his People, or King and Country.

Just for sh**s and giggles.
