The Games was a 1970 film based on the Hugh Atkinson novel and adapted to the screen by Erich Segal. It was directed by Michael Winner.
The plot concerned four marathon competitors at the Olympic Games, played by Michael Crawford, Ryan O'Neal, Charles Aznavour, Athol Compton and John Allen. Elton John recorded one song ('From Denver To L.A.') for the soundtrack.
Thousands of life-sized dummies were placed in the stadium's seats to simulate vast crowds of people.
