I can't say i have an outright favourite,..but one that would be in my top three would have to "Wee Geordie" (1955)
It is one of those typlical 1950's British films, with that innocent, warm, feelgood factor.
It stars Bill Travers as a little Scottish boy who is ribbed by his friends for being so tiny.
So he builds himself up, and ultimately enters the Olypics in the hammer.
I simply love that old flick,......and i feel like watching it right now.
It also stars another of my favourite actors,....Alistair Sim
His goal in life is to enter the Olypics wearing his Father's Black Watch kilt.
So for me,..."Wee Geordie"

I have the book, I don't have a copy of the movie but it is a wonderful story. Oh and Alistair Sim is a favourite of mine as well.

I must have a look on Amazon, and see if i can find that old film,....i would love to watch it again.
As for Alistair Sim,..........he is one of those actors who has never been in a bad film, nor has he played a bad part.
He was fantastic.
