Victory is a perfect example of a good, older movie that becomes even better when you watch it on DVD.
This makes it very easy to see why a widescreen movie is always better than the same movie shown in 4:3.
While the majority of the movie does not feature many surround sound effects, there are subtle ambient noises coming from the rear speakers to make the movie more realistic.

"Victory" seemed to have a can't-miss formula, but the film's failure probably became a cautionary lesson for prospective soccer movies.
The "Victory" players were so famous it was difficult to separate them from their real-life identities.
Gaetjens's story is the most mysterious and tragic of those involved in the game; he was abducted by the Tonton Macoute (a death squad) in 1964 and never seen again, believed to have been shot to death.

(Victory) The first of my selections is the movie Victory which is the only movie about Soccer on my list, and actually its the only good soccer movie I have ever seen.
All of the extras who play ball in the movie are real players, and not actors, and this gave th emovie more of a sence of realism, and it really looked like snipes and harrleson could play too, or else it was some darn good editing.
Victory, Hoosiers, and the Natural are for all audiences, while the others have some possibly objectionable material.

 Movie Forums - Victory
The movie is about a fictional soccer match between a German team and a team of allied POWs held in Colombe Stadium in Paris during WWII.
But besides all this, the movie is worth seeing for no other reason than to hear Sylvester Stallone speaking French (in a sequence in which, having escaped the POW camp, he contacts the French resistance in Paris).
VICTORY is notable for the fact that it was directed by the great John Huston (TREASURE OF THE SIERRA MADRE) and stars an international cast with Sylvestor Stallone, Micheal Caine, Max von Sydow (THE EXORCIST), and Pele(N.Y. Upon its initial release, soccer had become a popular international sport, but war movies were on the decline.

 USATODAY.com - Judge blocks ban on 'screener' copies of films to award voters   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
Large movie studios had claimed the ban was critical to stop the explosion of movie piracy.
Ted Hope, an independent producer, said the ruling was a victory for movie fans because it would allow smaller-budget pictures to get the acclaim they deserve, and therefore wider release.
Smaller movie studios said that meant their films were less likely to be considered for awards.

 Victory (1995)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
In the early 1900's in Sourabaya, Java, a man (Dafoe) rescues a beautiful violinist (Jacob) from indentured servitude, taking her to his desolate island home while being followed by larceny, treachery, and madness.
"Victory" is a middle-of-the-marquee film which takes on the challenging elements of love, intrigue, suspense, betrayal, murder, etc. in an exotic location shoot but, in spite of good work from a good cast, never seems to be all it could have been.
Hampered by ordinary cinematography, a superficial melodramatic execution, and less than sterling direction, "Victory", appears destined to die a slow death among the cable channels.

With the town split into 11 districts, all of them competing for the honour of winning, the residents of each are schooled from childhood onwards fervently to support the event.
Following the preparations of the Civetta district, which has not had a victory since 1979, Appel interviews a cross-section of the community ranging from school kids, to twentysomethings, to pensioners.
Their stories provides a unique insight into the town and its history but also lend the film some pathos, particularly when Appel focuses on Egidio, a 92-year-old man whose only wish is for Civetto to have one more victory in his lifetime.

Yeah the "Victory movie" if you can call it a movie, is the screen where all the other leaders heads are around yours, you probably didn't even notice it.
I used to think that the Diplo victory would be hard to achieve and unsatisfying to boot, but I've changed my mind on it after achieving it a few times.
If your opponent in the diplo victory election looks to be one of the other members of your "team" of nations, then stay friendly with that nation, but don't spend too much effort in getting them extra happy; give some spoils of war over to the other team members, not your rival to-be.

 deseretnews.com | Judge blocks ban on 'screener' copies of films to award voters
NEW YORK — In a victory for independent film producers, a federal judge Friday blocked an industry ban on sending advance copies of films to some movie awards voters.
Mukasey said he was swayed by testimony that showed awards are critical to the success of smaller films, which don't have the hefty advertising budget of larger studios.
He also said the 14 independent movie studios that brought the case against the MPAA had shown sufficient evidence that the ban violated federal antitrust law, which is designed to encourage competition.

For the time that this movie was made it has one of the best visuale effects that i have witnessed in a long time.
The movie takes place in Nazi occupied WWII Germany at a prison camp where somehow Pele (African American) was overlooked by the Gestapo guards who failed to exterminate him (Thank God AKA me, I love you Pele!!!).
The movie was inspired by an actual series of games in Kiev, during the German occupation of the city.

 The Jackson 5 : Victory - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
Victory has the distinctions of being the only Jacksons album to feature all six brothers and the last Jacksons album to feature Michael Jackson.
In the four years that had passed since the last Jacksons studio album, Triumph, Michael had become the biggest pop star in the world because of 1982's Thriller.
In retrospect, Victory is a competent album of slick contemporary R&B, occasionally goosed toward greatness by the appearance of one of pop music's most identifiable voices.

 SimpleWeblog: Movie Review: Victory
The soccer scenes were interesting, I couldn't tell if they looked silly because they were for a movie or because soccer looked silly during the 40s.
Pele is pretty freaking amazing, though, and pretty much saved the movie for me. Lots of Stallone silliness, and some weird plot things going on that didn't seem to make sense.
But it was kind of interesting, although I didn't enjoy it anywhere even close to as much as I did when I was a little kid and saw it.

 INKPOT MOVIE REVIEWS: VICTORY
Based on the novel set in 1914 by Joseph Conrad, Victory spins a tale of a pair of lovers, Heyst (William Dafoe) and Alma (Irene Jacob), who seek refuge on Heyst's isolated island.
Sourabaya and its surrounding islands and volcanoes may have their charm, but mean nothing once the film fails to capture the essence of an epic, which is what Victory deserves to be.
At the end of the film, we are told that perhaps Alma's victory was in teaching Heyst how to love.

We all know how fanatical the Italians are about their football, but I suspect that for most viewers this one will come right out of the blue.
It certainly did for me. For, away from the goal-grabbing glamour of Serie A, the residents of Siena have a sporting passion that's all their own: the annual horse race, or "Palio".
In this strange little film from Dutch documentarist John Appel, we're introduced to the weird and wonderful residents of Civetta, a district of Siena where the absence of a Palio victory in the last quarter-century appears to be driving everyone slowly mad.

Released in 1981, Victory stars Michael Caine, Sylvester Stallone and a slew of professional soccer players, including Brazil’s Pele (universally considered the greatest player of all time), England’s legendary Bobby Moore and Mike Summerbee, and Osvaldo Ardiles of Argentina.
Originally agreeing to participate in the match as part of a half time escape plot (the movie was released in Europe under the title Escape to Victory) the team members risk their lives to play the second half and possibly defeat the German team.
But it is a victory as the French crowd, chanting “Victoire, Victoire,” rushes the field, helping the team to freedom.

The music on this CD is of very good quality from a classical point of view but only track 10 called "Victory At Sea" which lasts 11 minutes is what I consider to be true music from the TV series and movie.

If you just want good military band music with a hint of the "Victory at Sea" theme then this would probably be a good buy.
