Visualizing the convergence of Bryan Foy's style and the core Comedy narrative.
This Hysterical History Comedy purports to show the first Olympic event, a terrible contest between Bronchitis and Tonsilitis for the hand of a fair maid. Bronchy appears a sure winner in a majority of the events until balls of fire from a Roman Candle hitting his trousers encourage Tonsy to speed up in the foot race and pass Bronchy. The laurels of the day then hang on the chariot race. The maid winsomely loosens a wheel of Bronchy's conveyance and Tonsy wins after he has hacked his balky mule across the finish line.
Decades after its release, Olympic Games remains a vital piece of the cinematic puzzle. Its influence can be seen in countless modern works, solidifying Bryan Foy's status as a master of the craft in United States and beyond.
