With the Winter Olympic Games getting underway and the stage set for Super Bowl LVI, the Pocono Television Network announces it will show the feature film “Jim Thorpe - All American” on three dates starting Sunday.

The special presentation is brought to viewers free of charge thanks to Mauch Chunk Trust Company.

“Jim Thorpe - All-American” is a biographical film produced by Warner Bros. in 1951 honoring Jim Thorpe, the legendary Native American athlete who won medals at the 1912 Olympics and is commonly known as the greatest athlete of the 20th Century.

Burt Lancaster portrays Thorpe, for whom the town nestled in the Pocono Mountains is named.

“This film captures the essence of who Jim Thorpe was as a man and athlete, rising past adversity and achieving countless accolades in his amateur and professional careers,” said Chris Barrett, president and CEO of the Pocono Mountains Visitors Bureau which operates PTN. “We are pleased to share this important piece of cinema with residents and visitors of the Poconos to help keep the memory of Thorpe alive.”

Pocono Television Network will air the 107-minute film about the Olympian and founder of the National Football League on Blue Ridge Cable 734, Service Electric Cable - Lehigh Valley 189, Service Electric Cable - Wilkes-Barre 192, RCN - Philadelphia 41 and broadcast WDPN 2.8 in Philadelphia.

Showtimes are 8 p.m. on Feb. 6 and 8, with the movie repeating at 10 p.m.; and 10 a.m. on Feb. 20, with a repeat at 8 p.m.

A memorial to Jim Thorpe, including his remains, is located in the borough, which changed its name from Mauch Chunk to Jim Thorpe shortly after the athlete’s death in 1953.

Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania, is also a popular destination for visitors annually because of its charming shops and restaurants as well as its historic architecture set along the Lehigh River and Lehigh Gorge State Park.
