Having just read the book for a second time I found that the film strayed quite a bit from the actual story. Joe Rantz started rowing at UW in 1933 not 1936, the JV boat didn't go straight to the Olympics in one season, Mr Rantz didn't live in a abandoned car in Hooverville etc, etc.
The actual story is so remarkable, the movie doesn't do it justice. If you liked the movie, you will love the book.
George Pocok is quite interresting in his own right, there is a great book about his life also.
