What: Bud Greenspan’s “Atlanta’s Olympic Glory”

Where: KCET, Channel 28

When: Sunday, 7-11 p.m. (Repeats Saturday, Dec. 13, 1-5 p.m.)

Bud Greenspan has done it again, another marvelous Olympic film. Greenspan’s formula always works. Find the best stories--some that are well known, some that are not as well known--and tell them well.

Greenspan’s recent Olympic works have been carried by the Disney Channel, but with Disney putting more emphasis on children’s programming, Greenspan, with a Disney grant in hand, took this film to PBS. The good thing is there still will be no commercials. But there will be five pledge-drive breaks in Channel 28’s showings, with Greenspan and other special guests on hand.

“Atlanta’s Olympic Glory” at least touches on all the major highlights of the 1996 Summer Games, from the opening ceremony and Muhammad Ali lighting the Olympic flame to the closing ceremony.

But mainly it tells 10 stories. Some are obvious, such as Michael Johnson’s 200-400 double and Carl Lewis’ long jump gold medal in track and field. Others are not as obvious, such as one about Pasadena’s Inger Miller, who placed fourth in the women’s 200 meters and then came back to win a gold as a member of the U.S. 400-meter relay team.

Inger’s father, Lennox Miller, also an Olympic sprinter, and his former USC teammate, Don Quarrie, and the roles they play in coaching Inger are a big part of this typically heartwarming Greenspan story. And Inger Miller’s story is part of a typically heartwarming Greenspan film.
