Review of Stock Car

Stock Car (1955)

Where's NASCAR When You Need Them? In America, Of Course
10 April 2023
With her father's death in a stock car race in America, Rona Anderson has arranged to sell his garage across from the stock car track to bookie Paul Whitsun-Jones, who has a large note on it. In walks racer Paul Carpenter. He says he made friends with her father at the track and was there when he died, and offers to go partners with her in the garage. This upsets Whitsun-Jones' plans; he's backing crooked Harry Fowler, who stole the car he's planning to use in the big race. Meanwhile, Whitsun-Jones' girlfriend, Susan Shaw, develops a yen for Carpenter.

It's far more story than stock car racing, which suits me, but I'm a bit miffed that everyone seems to believe Miss Shaw's whoppers without any proof, causing a rift between Carpenter and Miss Anderson, and convincing Carpenter that Miss Anderson's Italian mechanic and stock car racer Robert Rietty sabotaged Carpenter's car. Will everything be settled to let Carpenter win the race and Miss Anderson? Keep a look out for Sabrina, Alma Taylor, and Frazer Hines.
