Howard Hawks legendary director worked with the greatest stars in Hollywood: John Wayne, Marilyn Monroe, Cary Grant, Kate Hepburn Rock Hudson,, Barbara Stanwyck Jean Arthur, Rita Hayworth, etc. He must have decided to use a cadre of young actor and hoped that they would drive this race car film to the finish line of success. Hawks failed.
James Caan heads a cast of young actors. Hindsight is always 20/20 but Hawks should have taken this film to MGM which had the following under contract: Richard Cjhamberlain, George Peppad, Jim Hutton and 2 beauties Yvette Mimieux and Paula Prentiss who starred in Hawks Man's Favorite Sport on loan out to Universal. This would have been a stronger film.
I feel this film had potential to be a great movie.
