The Golden Hour
Television (Trailer) – 2012
The teams that were expected to dominate were the two super powers: The Soviet Union and the United States. The New Zealanders were a complete afterthought.
– David Maraniss, author of book Rome 1960: The Olympics that Changed the World
The Golden Hour rose, like its main subjects, above expectations to be a riveting piece of film. This was our Chariots of Fire. Just hope they show it to the team in London.
– Russell Baillie in The NZ Herald, 26 July 2012
When it ultimately comes down to the point, and you’re standing on the start line, and the starter calls for: ‘on your mark ... get set ...’, who’ve you got to help you? Only yourself.
– Murray Halberg
