21 Hours at Munich (1976 TV Movie)
9/10
better than Munich
17 August 2008
watched this just a couple of days ago,, and wow, this is a really great made for TV movie,, it doesn't blow everything out of proportion like those Hollylwood movies do, this one tells it straightforward, just as they actually happened, the filming took place on the actual grounds of the 76 Olympics at Munich. William Holden did a wonderful job in this film, as it was near the end of his career. Frances Nero, who i really never heard of before was pretty darn good as the terrorist leader, the movie starts out shortly before the kidnapping of the Israeli athletes, and goes all the way to the final act, i like this one better than Munich cause Munich just concentrated on the aftermath,, investigation,, it didn't do what this film did for me,, and that is to show the planning,, what happened during the kidnapping, and all of that stuff, this film did wonderful explaining to me what really happened that fateful year at the 20th Olympiad.
