It was. TV movie in 1984 focused pretty specifically on their relationship. Don't know how much they embellished it but supposedly the DQ's on his first two qualifying jumps were bogus, so Luz intentionally dropped a towel about a foot short of the mark so if Owens took off from the towel there would be no disputing it was a clean jump and Owens could clear the qualifying distance no problem, even giving up a foot.
