The Great Eight
Wisteria Pictures  · May 22, 2019
Inspiring documentary captures the essence of crew racing and what some consider to be the finest American rowing team ever, defeating the Soviets for the Gold Medal in the 1952 Olympics. Life Magazine hailed them as “The Great Eight,” and the name stuck. Narrated by Academy Award-winning actor Gregory Peck. Producer Wisteria Pictures is no longer in business, released the film in 1996 on VHS tape. A copy is among the holdings of the U.S. Naval Academy library. The tape can sometimes be found for sale from online sources, was never released on DVD. Enjoy, "The Great Eight!"
