Featuring a musical score by Rick Wakeman at his creative best, White Rock is the groundbreaking documentary of the 1976 Innsbruck Winter Olympics. Narrated by James Coburn, it is said to have changed sports documentaries forever.
Wakeman's score "is precisely the kind of kinetic music which one wants for watching young people fling themselves helter skelter over the ice. His music for ski jumping is ethereal and piercing, the combination of a man hurtling down a ramp and placing himself in opposition to the mountain in the far distance. His music for pairs' figure skating is so flowery and gentle that it almost feels like someone else's work.
Director Tony Maylam pares down the Olympics to what makes them thrilling, the reason why every couple of years we stop doing what we do for two weeks and become curling strategists or figure skating nitpickers or speed skating enthusiasts." - Seeing Things Secondhand
