1978 FIFA World Cup Argentina: The Official Film

Release Date: 1991, January 1
Directors: Howard Lanning
Countries: Argentina, United Kingdom
Production: Worldmark Productions
Cast: Steve Hudson

Overview:

Argentina, as hosts in 1978, were under great pressure to succeed. Amidst passionate supporters, they progressed to the finals with a wonderful blend of attacking football and tough defending. The unlucky Dutch, now lacking Cruyffs' sublime skills, were the fall guys once again in the Final, losing 3-1 in a classic clash of styles. This 1991 reedited version omits controversial interviews from the 1978 original "Copa 78 - O Poder do Futebol", while also including additional television footage of the tournament and newly dubbed English narration instead of the original Spanish.
