Geordie

Geordie is a Scottish boy. He is troubled by how short he is. So he looks for a remedy. He signs up for a body-building course by post. He follows the programme the course sends. In time he gains both height and strength. The change carries him somewhere else entirely. Sport moves to the centre of his life. The account is built on that change. At the end of the road are the Olympic Games. The film was shown in America as Wee Geordie. Alastair Sim and Bill Travers take the leads, with Norah Gorsen and Jameson Clark also in the cast, in Frank Launder’s British film of 1955.
