Audience Member Watching this to get psyched for the Fred Lebow 5M tomorrow morning in Central Park Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member The story of the origins of the NYC Marathon. For something of such a grand scale, it is always interesting to see how it all started. Really, you can pick apart just about anything and make it interesting. That's what History's Modern Marvels is all about. But the NYC Marathon was about people, in particular Fred Lebow, who first started a marathon in Central Park, then later made the more familiar NYC Marathon that is internationally known. As one reviewer says, it's a documentary for people who already know what Fred Lebow deserves his own documentary. Definitely, most of the people featured in the film were near and dear friends of Lebow. But who else is going to tell the story? The lamos like on A&E biography who never actually met the biographied individual? That said, the production value is not all that great. And the story, as interesting as it is, is not so compelling to overcome this. It's a decent watch because the Marathon is a big deal so why not learn about it. It's not anything spectacular because, well, it's about running a lot. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member Loved this! For those who 'get it' and understand the journey :) Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Having recently read the biography of Fred Lebow's life, it was fascinating to see the gist of the story full-flushed in technicolor and wonderful to set my eyes upon the actual cast of characters in his life. An amazing little man with a completely undaunted vision. When watching the footage of him running his last marathon two years before his passing at a terribly young age, yeah, I admit, I cried like a little baby.

It's phenomenal to see how an event as luminous as the NYC Marathon started from Fred Lebow's vision. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews
