For four decades this cellophane-based brand of motion-picture film was a carrier medium for German sales-library movies aimed at the home market.


The opening caption reads: “Fussball” and this film actually shows highlights from the Olympic Football Final played between Austria and Italy at the Poststadion, Berlin. The first scene shows the teams running out onto the pitch. A caption reads: “Seitenwahl” (Selection of ends) and then proceeds to show the toss of the coin in the centre of the pitch. Football action immediately follows in front of a packed stadium. Goal mouth action is seen and the Austrians clear an Italian attack, another attempt sees the ball cleared off the


Austrian line. Repeated Italian attempts are repelled leaving the half-time score 0-0. We see both teams emerging from the underground changing rooms for the second half, a cameraman cranks a film camera on top of a tripod as they pass. More goal-mouth action follows and we clearly see the attempts of an Italian player to obstruct the vision of the Austrian keeper. Finally, the Italian score following a fumbling lunge from the Austrian keeper, and the head-banded Italian jumps for joy applauding the success. Others come to congratulate him. The Italian crowd go mad and waves national flags. Further action sees the Austrians on the attack, and a superb shot leaves the Italian keeper leaden footed for the equalizer. A cross is punched out by the Italian keeper. A caption in German explains that at full-time the score was 1-1, but after extra time Italy became the Olympic Champions, with Austria as runners-up and Norway third.
