Title of the Short shown with The Poseidon Adventure in 1973

[rowingbabe]

Hi

When the Poseidon Adventure was first released in the UK in Jan 1973, there was a short film shown with it. It was about winning in various sports, including rowing. Unbeknown to the crew, the winning IV in the Wyfold Challenge Cup at Henley Royal Regatta in 1972 was filmed and were included in the short. TITLE or any other details???

Did the regatta film show anyone sinking?
That would have been quite appropriate to go with The Poseidon Adventure

You must be thinking of the Magic Christian or maybe not! To the best of my recollection no sinking in the short.

Or they may sell you a copy...

A lighthearted treatment of sport in Britain, which includes skiing in Aviemore, the regatta at Henley, the Derby at Epson and motor racing at Brands Hatch.

Julian Craster, is this Movietone a pay-to-watch or sales-only website please?
