Jim Thorpe -- All-American (1951) Poster

Jack Baston: King Gustav

Quotes 

  • Glenn S. 'Pop' Warner : [narrating]  For three solid days, Jim Thorpe gave an exhibition of physical prowess such as the world has never seen. The five events of the grueling pentathlon: sprinting, jumping, the javelin, the discus, the torturous 1,500 meter run, and a great victory, which would have been sufficient glory for any athlete. But almost without cause and without precedent, Jim tackled the supreme test: the decathlon, ten events covering every form of track and field competition.

    Glenn S. 'Pop' Warner : Merely to compete in these events would have been accomplishment enough, but Jim achieved victory again. Another great victory for himself and for his country.

    Glenn S. 'Pop' Warner : When it was over, the King of Sweden asked to meet Jim Thorpe, to pay personal tribute.

    King Gustav : Sir, you are the greatest athlete in the world.

    Jim Thorpe : Thank you, your Majesty.
