Two Classic 16mm Golf Films, i) ''This is the Open 1966 and this is Muirfield, Home of the Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers.'' (Sound, Colour, 47 minutes 33 secs.) This fine privately produced documentary retrospective look at the complete competition, extensively covering highlights from all four rounds Including action film of Tommy Horton, David Snell, Eric Brown, Roberto DiVincenzo, Peter Thomson, David Thomas & Gary Player. There are Interviews with Peter Allis, Peter Thomson, Gary Player, and Jack Nicklaus all considering the non grading of the rough, and how to play the course whilst keeping this fact in mind. ''When play commences it is soon apparent that no one had considered the speed and subtlety of the Muirfield greens.'' There's action film of Arnold Palmer, Bob Charles, Julius Boros, Bernard Hunt, Ronnie Shade, David Marr, Doug Sanders, George Will, Peter Butler, Jimmy Hitchcock, and fine extended coverage of Nicklaus' form. We see 18 year old Bobby Cole in action, with a detailed look at his swing and hand action. Also featured is Bob Charles. Once again Arnold Palmer comes to the fore, along with Phil Rogers, equalling Cotton's course record before Peter Butler soon breaks it with a 65. Jack Nicklaus (aged 26) features strongly as the tournament nears its end. As do, Butler, Rodgers, Henning and Nagle.
