Featured review
Manic amateur driver Jerry O'Connor and his slow-witted mechanic Buddy Buttle run into Jane Delano. Jerry is immediately head over heels for her. Her father happens to be race car owner Pinky Delano. Delano's drivers keep getting into accidents and he takes on Jerry as a new driver.
Dennis O'Keefe is a bit too manic. He can be confident to the point of arrogance, but he does need to dial it back a notch. Nat Pendleton is faking Buddy's obliviousness. Also, mechanics shouldn't be waiting suits. Maybe it was the times when everybody were dressed that way. I don't really care about the acting, the characters, or their story. That's all fine for a B-movie. Besides all that, I love the car action with their drift driving and some real racing footage.
