Review: It's the story of amateur Francis Ouimet, who defeated 5-time British Open Champion Harry Vardon and Ted Ray in a playoff, to win the 1913 US Open Golf Championships.Vardon was the greatest British golf champion of all time, who revolutionized the game. But while he, too, was no aristocrat, he spent his life hoping his golf would win him acceptance on the golfing world's terms. He made the fatal mistake of assuming it was about winning.
Ouimet was a caddy , at a time when golf was an aristocratic sport. His parents were immigrants, but his house was directly across the road from the Brookline Golf Club . His father, a French immigrant, did just about everything possible to discourage his son's interest in what he considered to be a waste of time.But in the end Vardon was the one most likely to give Ouimet the respect he deserved—one sportsman to another.
A lovely story of man against all odds,and who one day stoop up and achieved his goal.Though not being a fan of golf i relly enjoyed the film.Acting from some of the cast is good.The ending just keeps you to the edge of your seat.All is all The Greatest Game Ever Played is a decent movie to watch over weekend.
Rating:3/5 *Good sports movie*
