Four Minute Fever (1956)
** 1/2 (out of 4)
Sportscope short takes a look at a running a mile in under four minutes. We get to see three different races where the feet became possible and ends in 1956 with Joe Bailey finally broke the mark and came in under four-minutes within the U.S.. This is a pretty good short that contains some nice information as well as some nice cinematography, which is helped by the good quality print shown on Turner Classic Movies. There's really nothing overly special about the film but it does manage to keep you entertained throughout the 9-minute running time.
