Two-time Olympian Robert LeGendre set a world record for the long jump at the 1924 Olympic Games in Paris, as part of his bronze medal-winning performance in the pentathlon. (USA teammate William DeHart Hubbard won the gold medal in the individual long jump event, which LeGendre hadn't been able to qualify for.)
One of a series of 13 one-reel "Marvels of Motion" films utilizing slow-motion, reverse-motion, and other trick photographic effects, produced by Max Fleischer and released by Red Seal Pictures.
Reviewed in the September 5, 1925, edition of "Motion Picture News", the September 12, 1925, edition of "Moving Picture World", and the September 12, 1925, edition of "Exhibitors Trade Review".
The February 6, 1926, edition of "Moving Picture World" reviews a "Marvels of Motion" short matching this film's description (previously reviewed by the same publication in September 1925), but the review identifies the film as "Issue I". It is unclear whether "Issue I" was a reissue/rehash of "Issue D", or if there was some confusion on the part of the theatre and/or reviewer.
Listed in the March 15, 1925, edition of "The Film Daily" with a projected release date of March 25, 1925. Also listed with the same release date in the April 4, 1925, edition of "Exhibitors Trade Review".
